The guy that this is about has bought all 3 nights on his own card 

Ah, I see.

i know that obviously all of these shows will be amazing regardless, but god i hope they don't play a significantly better set or one/some of my favourite songs on one of the two nights i don't attend!

I kinda felt that way about Leeds festival when I saw the reading set

[jparx]

I think that's part of what makes them such a special band though. You genuinely don't know what you're going to get. Most bands nowadays play identical sets each night. Radiohead could turn around and play a completely different 25 songs than what they played previously. And there's always hope they could bust out something completely random and bizarre from the back catalogue .

aye i loved their Leeds set and am glad i got to see some of those lesser played songs played live, but that Reading set... just about as close to a greatest hits set as you'll ever get from Radiohead

yeah i'm not complaining and they're my favourite band so any setlist from them is gonna be a good'un, but if they played Let Down/How To Disappear Completely/Optimistic/Street Spirit on one of the other nights and Feral on my night then i'd be just a little upset

yeah bloody great setlist that. weirdly omitted There There though

[brettredmayne]

It's what makes radiohead so special and intriguing, if you look at the muse tour it was generally an identical set with 3 slots on rotation. 

I think I'm going to try and ignore set lists and go into the roundhouse blind.

i wish i had the willpower to do that, but i know for sure that first thing in the morning after that first Amsterdam show i'll be drooling over the setlist they played

I know it isn't the most popular song here but I would cry of electioneering was played the night before and I missed it.

We know these London shows are going to be special

Snap. I'll be ruminating about the set they're going to playing at the roundhouse as soon as that first gig is over. 

I really want to hear loads of new stuff at the roundhouse, but that's probably because I've seen them three times before, including at Reading with that flawless setlist. You couldn't have asked for more when seeing Radiohead for the first time.

This will be my 10th if you count seeing jonny and Thom do a charity gig at koko a few years back.

Haha true that. That's the gamble of being a Radiohead fan

Not too shabby at all! Since then, they've gone from strength to strength too.

I had young kids at their first festival and they insisted on watching Kasabian instead of Radiohead. Kasabian finished first so we headed to the main stage. As we got closer I could hear the strains of Creep drifting across the field. doh!

[Gucci Piggy]

Now I'm not going they'll 100% play Let Down, Fake Plastic Trees, How To Disappear Completely and The Bends on the Thursday night so enjoy.

Same here

I was at that v. Traffic was so bad I had to get back for work on Monday and leave early. Big regret as I missed Radiohead. 

 

i did make the Oxford homecoming gig at the end of amnesiac tour, amazing set. Still have the old South Park tshirt with all the band members as South Park characters. Remember all the lightening at the end of that gig? Proper atmospheric ending!!!

Somebody on Reddit/Tumblr has apparently had word that the album will be out in early May/before their shows start. Isn't 100% confident in it, but seems like it could hopefully be true

Not to discredit the person, but the album being released before their tour starts is a pretty obvious guess isn't it?  I know the last story mentioned June, but it makes the most sense to release it before the shows.

Not that sense ever applies to Radiohead!

[arcade fireman]

Going to the two Amsterdam shows, London and Primavera. I want the album to come out in the next couple of weeks, but if it gets to 10 days before the Amsterdam show I sort of selfishly hope it doesn't come out before as it would be pretty cool hearing a lot of it for the first time.

Got an email from Bandsintown with the subject "Radiohead just announced a new concert! Open the email, to see a pic of the band and an apparent gig at the electric ballroom in mid July.

I clicked the tickets link to find it's for an Easy Star All-Stars gig, the "Radiodread" 10th anniversary.

Now even music websites are winding me up.

So cruel.

I had a really mental dream last night - one of those where a million completely unconnected things happen - and part of it was Radiohead announcing the new album was coming in OCTOBER. *shudders*
