Radiohead Headlining 2017

....while the rain batters on the canvas of your tent, which is starting to leak as you hear the Kaiser Chiefs tuning up in the distance.

I'm not sure about Glastonbury but my mate seems convinced that they're going to play OK Computer in full on this tour.

Any reason or just a hunch? Would seem a very un-Radiohead thing to do, but then so did playing all of the fan favourites and they did that on the last leg. In theory it'd be a bit lame. In practice I'd be losing my shit like I never have before.

Your "mate" is @jparx and I claim my five pounds

OK Computer in full with an encore of In Rainbows in full would be a highly jovial affair

Just based on its the 20th anniversary and trnsmt have made an emphasis about them playing an extended set

You know I'd rather they didn't do OK Computer in full. I love the album but with a band like Radiohead with such an excellent varied back catalogue I'd rather then take bits from everywhere except Pablo Honey

Manchester Night 1: OK Computer

Manchester Night 2: In Rainbows

No chance they'll play OKC in full but I'd fucking love if they did.  

Even opening with Airbag and running through to Let Down would be amazing but ain't happening.

[jparx]

I do genuinely think there's a strong chance they open with Airbag>Paranoid Android.

Why would you put this thought in my head! I very, very much hope you're right, but I can't see it happening at all.

True. I'm probably underestimating how many die hards will be in the crowd. If, say, 20,000 of the fans that turn up to see them are as die hard as us it would be a ridonkulous show.

Especially if you consider that I only post on here because the likes of atease were too full on for me.

Nah I don't see it, although outside of Burn the Witch (which I hope they will've abandoned as a set opener by then) I can't think of what they will open their set(s) with. They tended to switch between Bloom and Lotus Flower on TKOL tour so maybe another from the new album, although it being rather banger-lacking may be a problem. 

[theDandy]

These would change daily but at the moment:

Creep, Fake Plastic Trees, Exit Music, How to Disappear Completely, Dollars & Cents, There There, Reckoner, Lotus Flower, Burn the Witch (with strings) or Ful Stop 

&

Karma Police, Paranoid Android, Exit Music, Lucky, Let Down, Airbag, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Climbing Up The Walls, No Surprises, The Tourist, Electioneering, Fitter Happier 

[Stokesy10]

To be honest, they're foolish if they don't open with an absolute Radiohead belter. They'd be missing a massive opportunity to do so.

I mean, they opened with There There last time, it doesn't get much better than that. It needs to be something along those lines.

There There was a single from the album they were currently promoting, so if they were to do the same this time it'd be... Burn the Witch, and unless they've sorted it out live then I'd rather they didn't. They definitely seem to open with a new album song 90% of the time so outside of just going all out and banging out Paranoid Android from the get-go, I'm expecting similar.

Not long until their tour starts anyway so that'll be a good indicator.

Can see them either opening on the grooves of either Identikit or Ful Stop on the new tour. I think they're the most viable openers from the new AMSP.

Ful Stop would be a magnificent set opener 

[FloorFiller]

If they beefed up the big chanting 'Broken hearts, make it rain' bit in Identikit live I think it'd be a ace opener (the lights + visuals going all mental during that bit), but as it is probably not as they haven't quite nailed that bit live with just the band members doing a weak interpretation of it (the chant - rest of the song is just fine live).

Burn the Witch is still very much the best option from that album if only they could just replicate the urgency of the studio version.

[jparx]

If they can do Burn the Witch justice, then it should definitely be the opener. If they are keeping it as is, something like Ful Stop, Airbag, Planet Telex or even Creep would be the way to go.

Or 15 Step obviously....

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'll be utterly stunned if Burn the Witch isn't the opener, sooner we all accept it the better. Then we can move on to debating which will come next, which is the real quiz.

Daydreaming 

Something off the Bends or OKC

 

[cloudb]

Don't think anyone will agree with this but what the heck!

Blow Out

Planet Telex

Let Down

National Anthem

Like Spinning Plates

2 + 2 = 5

15 Step

Separator

True Love Waits

I agree, I think it'd work much better as BTW as an opener. After seeing it on the last tour it's become a little like Idioteque in a sort of way.

Aye it's a pretty average Radiohead song. The "such a pretty house and such and pretty garden" bit is a good un though.

It was pretty low down in my list of fav RH songs for years up until recently, when I noticed something that I hadn't before, the backing where Thom can be heard singing "get/let me out of here", just added a whole new meaning to the song for me and now it is one of my favs from OKC, but they always interchange anyway
