Still a few things I'm unsure about but I'm fully on-board with the end of the main set.

EIIRP - There There - Weird Fishes - IMBR - Idioteque - Nude.

Yes please!

I Might Be.......Right?

I'm glad we don't know what we're getting. Wouldn't want an Arcade Fire sitch now would we?

Agreed.  Best case scenario, they neglect the song(s) you really want to hear during the tour and then pull them out on the Pyramid where it really matters.

For me, either one of HTDC or Pyramid Song would really make me happy.

I expect you're right. I saw them at Wolverhampton in 2006 and they played 5 In Rainbows tracks that were 16 months away from being released. A few months later at the V Festival they brought out the big guns.

The opening MSP run continues. I personally would love those 3 as openers but I think there'd be a monumental exodus from the casuals. 

Needs 2+2=5 in there and I'd probably take that set list though. 

They were doing about 5 in a row from the new album at gigs last year, but reduced it to two or three for the festivals. By June I think there's a more than reasonable chance that opening is something like Daydreaming > Airbag 

[Madyaker]

Imo they still need to fix that opening sequence. Something like Burn the Witch > National Anthem > Ful Stop would be perfect. Then maybe play a quiet one.

Actually, it is better than last year:

Builds to a crescendo better, I'd say.

This literally sounds like one of those 'shreds' videos. Thom sounds like a dying cat.

He sounds like Mark E Smith.

Just seen that they've got a 2 and half hour set at Rock Werchter. Reckon they'll get the same slot for Pyramid?

I imagine they will get their usual 23/24 song set that they've done at all the festivals on this tour.

Some people seem to be pegging them for a shorter set than usuaul, whilst giving the Foo Fighters 2 1/2, 3 hour sets, which seems ridiculous to me because Radiohead have consistently played 22+ songs on this tour, so why would they accept less at Glastonbury when Dave is getting as long as he can run around for?

That's what I said, isn't it?

Pretty sure Radiohead were given 2.5 hours at Lolla and only played for 2 hours. Probably be the same at Werchter.

Yeah maybe. Dunno what a dying cat sounds like.

i remember the Open'er boss saying that he was so excited to have them and it'd be a 2.5 hour set. Probably be narked if he knew that it was only gonna be two hours and the last half hour would contain three encores.

Makes sense to allow them time for their usual setlist length. Saw them at NOS Alive last year and I think that was around 23 songs or so

Have to say that I too have been concerned at the state of Thom's voice recently...I know you shouldn't judge too much on what you see on a YouTube video, but from some of the concert performances I have seen in some songs it appears that either (a) he can't be arsed singing properly and (b) can't hit a lot of the high notes anymore. Burn The Witch sounds appalling live, have yet to see a decent version of it. Please someone post a link and change my mind!

However, as some posters have pointed out, he seems to raise his game for festivals a bit...have just watched a lot of the NOS set from last year and he absolutely fucking nails it. Let's hope we get this Thom in 2 months!

Some kind of broadcast surely? 

[Chawk]

i think it might just a book version of The Panic Office exhibition

or maybe not if he just decided to re use the image but blank out the original title so it's not associated with it

Coachella is likely to be our first big indicator of what could end up on the farm. Expecting at least two-thirds of this weekend's setlist to crop up on the Pyramid - so fingers crossed we all get some crackers.

[Madyaker]

We'll all be eagerly anticipating the Coachella set and then they'll open with a ten minute extended version of tree fingers or something.

[Time Being]

I would take a Treefingers -> Optimistic opening with open arms

Fuck I'd love if there was even a chance of us getting Optimistic. Played it once last year I think? Bring it back!

Yeah, they played it once in Lyon. One of the best setlists of the tour: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2016/theatre-antique-de-fourviere-lyon-france-3bfee02c.html
