Anyone know ticket prices? I'm not paying £77 to see them in Manchester.

It looks like Manchester is £55 after fees, which is still pretty expensive for one album  but could have been worse.

Hmmm.... looks like either Roundhouse or nothing for me.

Annoyingly one of those nights clashes with Alan Partridge at the O2 and two nights in a row is tough sell so close to Glastonbury.

Someone’s having a right laugh charging 50 quid for this aren’t they?

Roundhouse is 49.50

 

Cheaper than the gigs this weekend at least!

You think? Pretty much exactly what I’d hope/expect to pay for something like this these days.

Cheeky. Annoyingly looks like their ruled out of Glasto, as I'd have tried to catch them there instead. I don't know if I'm willing to pay £55 to see them with only two songs released at the moment. I'm not really getting the extreme level of hype Radiohead fans seem to experience whenever they release anything ever. As well as being able to tell from one performance, that they're going to be the best thing that's happened to music in the next few years. While people are saying it's the best thing they've done since IR, I'm sitting here thinking it's pretty good, but not incredible at the moment. It took me a while to get their first one, but their second song was more instant for me and I'm a bigger fan of that one.

I'll have a think about it, as Radiohead are my #1 of all time and I haven't been able to see them yet, so it could be pretty special.

I mean, Radiohead charge a similar amount for their own gigs. Where you see them play for almost 2h and they've got an incredible catalogue. So charging the same for a band with two songs released, as well as a shorter setlist and everything, I think it's a bit much. I'd expect £35 if you look at the prices of other gigs held at the same venues.

I’m having a bad day and this has made it worse. Surely there was room for them on the lineup? Why on earth have they been passed by.

I was pretty much convinced they would be showing up at Worthy.  Whilst not technically impossible, it's not happening this year, which is a big shame.

This is the time of the year where the possibilities start to come into contact with reality 😞

They’re still free on the Sunday

Usher Hall, Edinburgh...THANK YOU, Thom and Jonny.

So I got two tickets for The Smile without realizing. TW Classic and Primavera. Beyond excited!

Do Radiohead really charge that amount for their tickets?  I thought it was at least £70 for a normal ticket (not tiny warm up gig).

And on continental Europe the days either side.  They're not coming.

They are playing Edinburgh the weekend I'm at Primavera.

They are playing Primavera the weekend I'm back in Edinburgh. They look out for Glastonbury too. Miserable morning!

Will have an album out come the shows I assume, and as much as you may not like it, it essentially being Radiohead #2 is always gonna add a few quid on.

Maybe I’m just used to being shaken down when it comes to gig tickets these days, but I was fully expecting to have to fork out £50 whenever they decided to tour.

Four days in a row? I can’t see it.

I’m actually strangely quite fucked off about this. Maybe it’s because I’m in a bad mood lol.

A thursday set isnt totally out of the question in the tent i guess....

What makes you think they've been "passed by"?

Looks like they've booked their own European tour with little intention of playing GF.

Nah, would be absolute carnage. Radiohead in the Park was one of the reasons why they stopped secret gigs for a while.

Thom Yorke in a tent on a Thursday would be a disaster waiting to happen.

Can't imagine they weren't asked, maybe they wanted to keep a distance from the festival before Radiohead's return to headline in 2023.

Belgium and Luxembourg though. Not really any different than travelling to Scotland 

[Hutchmaster]

Given the current going rate for gigs and who it is, I reckon £55 is a fair price to see them; especially at the Roundhouse. I'd like to think they'd drop the album then though.

The Waste HQ email says more dates coming anyway, for those who can’t see em this time round
