Radiohead To Tour Next Year

Well yeah, They have been talking about touring in '08 for months... We need specifics!!

BONNAROOOOO!!!!

It's too bad that they don't tour very often because I probably can't afford to go see them at astronomical prices. I'd love to see them live, but I can afford to go to 4 or 5 shows for the price of one Radiohead show. I'm glad I got to see Tool for relatively cheap in 2002 before they too became one of the bigger mainstream bands.

Maybe if they let the consumer set the price of their own concert tickets...no wait that will never happen.

They are arguably the best show I've ever seen, though I've only seen them twice. Anywho, it is a shame Thom hates touring because he has such a dynamic stage presence, but it makes sense. I really hope they jump the pond to the US, i'll see them if they get within 300 miles of me, no question.

Sorry Drew, but theres no way they'll do bonnaroo again... even though that set was really freaking incredible.

I agree with GMOO...ASTRONOMICAL PRICES FOR TICKETS! A whopping...hold on, ya ready for this? ... ... an "astronomical" $43 BUCKS a general admission ticket last year! Good thing TOOL only charges $38.50 for their general admission THIS YEAR. Whew! (but now wouldn't that be sweet lovin' if the "consumer" could set all the prices?) Hail to the thief!

gmoo, you may be able to see 4-5 bands w/the money for a radiohead ticket, but radiohead is easily 4-5X better than any band covered on this site ever so its completley worth it

hell yeah, ive only seen radiohead once and it was at Bonnaroo in 06, that was one of the main reasons i went last year. Im with you dudeski, if they come within 300 miles of me also im going to see them. im going to hold on to some cash just for when and where ever i get to see them in 08

Gmoo...Radiohead isn't that expensive. When they toured in '06 the ticket prices were around $45. That's about what I used to pay for Phish shows since I wasn't one of those people expecting a free ticket with my finger in the air. These guys do have to travel across a continent to get here. It's not like paying $10 to see New Monsson at the local hippie bar.

Radiohead tickets were being scalped for over $100 where I'm from. Last time Tool came to town they sold out in 8 minutes or something, with tickets going for more than $100 from scalpers. Littledrummerboy, I'm glad you like Radiohead so much. R.P. McMurphy, thanks for the sarcasm I needed to be patronized today.

yeahhh i caught the tool show just outside chicago; $60 floor tickets sold out but i got lucky to score a pair for $75 apiece thru craigslist, that's the MOST i've paid for an individual concert... it was my first tool show and i'm hoping they come back to the midwest sometime soon (though prolly not until the new year), because it was definitely worth it.

never seen radiohead and not exactly a huge fan (tool rocks harder, if we wanna compare....). i'd check them out ONLY if i could get a decent ticket for less than $50

Radiohead was sick at roo and hopefully they come somewhere in the midwest next year...and i agree that the prices of their shows are overprices a tad bit and their discbox set is gonna be $80 so thats a little ridiculous as well...oh well, i guess the uK has a higher cost of living.

last few times i've seen them i paid $200+ to get right down front and center..and i am by no means rich. i will do it again for this tour.

I will pay ridiculous prices if I get to see a ridiculously amazing band.

the '03 tour wasn't expensive at all cause they played a lot of places and large venues. However '06 was tough to get tickets for. Every ticket sold out literally in 30 seconds. I paid $220 for plush box seats in Chicago from stub hub. Shit was hot, perfect view and comfortable. Nothing like being 20 feet from the stage in Toronto '03 though.

Well that is kind of lame. They are a huge rock n roll band and Thom doesn't feel like being a "road dog." Too bad Thom get off your ass and play me Jigsaw Falling Into Place live!

Gmoo...Scalpers don't sell tickets for face value. That's why they are called "scalpers." They are not your friends.

i don't care how much it costs...its worth every damn cent! think of how often they tour- i'd rather see radiohead once in three years than the same band 3 times in three years for the same price...problem is getting your hands on a ticket before they sell out! and i agree, their set at roo was insane!! wouldn't that be some shit if they played bonnaroo again...haha never happen!!!! but it would be awesome..

It's so hard and tiring to be a rock star. I really feel sorry for this band's awful predicament. No wonder their music is so sad. I didn't realize they had to travel and play shows. Bummer

Hey poor little drummer boy, If RADIOHEAD IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY BAND ON THIS SITE WHY WASTE YOUR TIME HERE> GO HANG WITH THE COOL KIDS AND DISCUSS SUICIDE AND DEPHEchE MODE.

POSERS will NEVER learn

i only had the chance to see them during the pablo honey tour( am i that freakin old?)

i will (as my grandpa used to say) jump through my own ass to see them this tour.

isnt there enough room for us to all get along without bringing up suicide or the dreaded D*%$#@! M*&% krap.

i thought that we were to spaced out to act like a kid.

jfd

sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on earth who doesn't get this band...saw them at Bonnaroo and was underwelmed.

GMOO, "scalpers" and actual cost of tickets are two different things. Sort of like reality and sarcasm.

It's all good McMurph

Ticket prices are crazy, but the last Radiohead tour was very reasonable. I think (without Ticketbastard) they were in the $40's and at smaller venues last year. I couldn't go because I was out of town. Bummer because I would love to see them at The Auditorium in Chicago.

Muel - As for the price of the box set, It isn't $80 - it is 40GBP. I go into deatil as to the issue with the dollar etc... on the review page. Long story short, the dollar is very weak right now and that makes the price of imports about 30% over "historical" rates.

From what I have heard, they have sold about 1.4m copies of In Ranbows via the net at an average sell price of $8.00. If that is the case, those numbers are HUGE!!! So will profitability.

Woo Hoo i havnt seen radiohead since the 2$ bill show and that was a while ago......

I enjoy Radiohead. They are talented and insightful musicians, but they continue to be the most overrated band for, perhaps, the past five years. Now, let the ripping on me commence.

I saw radiohead at red rocks and thought it was a good show, but I still cannot understand the hype around these guys. The music was not mind blowing, but the overall experience was worth the ticket price. Light show was pretty cool, but I really have a problem with thom's voice...it reminds me of a whiny complainer type and it really gets to me.....

FOR REAL COME TO BONNAROO NEXT YEAR!!!!!!

I do not like "Hail to the thief"

Can someone suggest the sickest album they have for me??

I have no clue how to go about finally trying to like this band.

I have not given up yet, but that album I mentioned is not for me at all.

Check out "Kid A" it got me hooked about a month ago. Like many others...I always liked Karma Police/High and Dry/...I guess...Creep. Never really got into them deeply until my buddy played Kid A for me. MINDBLOWING! Check out Kid A it is amazing! In particulat listen to the track "How to disappear Completely" The title track "Kid A" is SOOOO trippy with headphones.
