God I wish big acts came to Liverpool. The acts that play our arena are laughable - has beens and tribute acts galore

Just had a peek at the website to see who's playing, felt like Lynne opening Alan's drawer.

Great reference - have an upvote

Probably means  nothing but I had a monitor on see tickets radiohead page for roundhouse gigs and i got this today

It doesn't mean nothing. It does mean that See have added Danish language as an option.

Final 2016 tour date this week though so if they were waiting to clear that before announcing next year's tour then it's time to get hyped. Might not be as exciting for all you that managed to see them this year and are happy to wait until Glastonbury but I really god damn need that 2017 tour announced.

You've actually used "It doesn't mean nothing" correctly.  I don't think I've ever seen that before!

I should read the earlier posts...

regardless of seeing them this year and hopefully seeing them at Glastonbury next year if the venue/prices aren't too ridiculous (aka not all down south again and not too far past the £60 mark) i'll undoubtedly try and see them again

also, can't believe nobody's picked up on this yet, BUT THEY PLAYED FAKE PLASTIC TREES LAST NIGHT! first time in full since 2010. now all we need is How To Disappear Completely to make it's debut on this tour

It's a sign

[dentalplan]

Now if they could put it away for another six years that will be fantastic.

Yep, easily 50 RH songs I'd prefer over Fake Plastic Trees. HTDC being #1...

Didn't they play HTDC a few months ago?

You guys are mad. 'I could blow through the cieling' is a top 10 Radiohead moment!

It's definitely time for that tour to be announced. If they go for outdoor gigs again I wonder whether they might use Wembley Stadium. I'd clearly rather a two week residency at Brixton for us southerners but more and more acts seem to be announced there

I'd be gobsmacked if they announce Wembley stadium. Biggest outdoor style shows I can see them doing (at a stretch) are the cricket ground ones like on the In Rainbows tour.

[brettredmayne]

I think we will get 2 dates, probably Finsbury and LCCC , I cant see radiohead doing football stadiums .

[dentalplan]

We keep coming back to this but I'd find any large outdoor show incredibly unlikely. For starters, there's long been a rumour that they've booked the O2 for next year and also didn't Jonny say something before the release about the album not being fit for large shows or something? I know arenas are quite big and festival slots are 'large outdoor shows' but intentionally choosing stadiums and big parks would be a turnaround. I'm just anticipating a fairly standard arena tour.

Just looked up the capacity for last night in Mexico City was 26,000. Even though the UK tour was just 3 London dates, it was amazing that they played the Roundhouse. As far as I can see the last time they played a venue that small on a proper full band tour will have been 20 years ago!

Yeah! and it was so good last time at Glastonbury too (going by the video)....despite the clapping along & Thom looking like a drowning fish while singing

In my mind Fake Plastic Trees has always been what I'd pick as the set closer, not sure if they have ever used it as one though. I'm sure one of you instantly know whether they have or not?

The first few weeks of the 2003 tour were in some tiny venues. I saw them in The Olympia in Dublin which is about the same size as the Roundhouse.

Oh really, that looks a beautiful venue too. Were you standing or seated?

[jparx]

Oh wow. Watch that and tell me you don't want them to play it when they do Glastonbury! Unreal.

Seated - right on the very top tier that I didn't even know existed prior to that show and that you need to access via a secret entrance in a back alley.

Still a cracking gig though.

It's not aged well. I mean, it's an alright 90's alt-rock song and all that but for a Radiohead setlist in 2016 it can get te fuck.

yeah i get what you mean. i love it and would be overjoyed if they played it when i saw them but it sure ain't the Radiohead of 2016 and borders just on the right side of corny balladry for me. i honestly didn't expect them to play it on this tour because of this, although i definitely didn't expect Creep to become an almost-staple either. guess they're finally happy to appease fan service
