Well, tonight is the night for New York Radiohead fans. The band is set to perform at the sold out Madison Square Garden Theatre and it should be an amazing show.
If you plan on going, please submit your reviews to our gigography.
Maybe Tennessee is too far for you. Maybe you don’t want to be hanging around a lot of jam band fans. Maybe you hate humidity and the outdoors. Whatever your excuse is, it’s not good enough for missing Radiohead’s performance at this year’s Bonnaroo festival. Now, thanks to the AT&T blue room, we can witness Radiohead’s performance (among others) without leaving our homes.
The AT&T blue room will be serving up hours of free, uninterrupted, live streaming coverage from Bonnaroo Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 16th-18th starting at 1:30 PM edt/10:30 AM pdt.

UPDATE: It has been brought to our attention that Radiohead is not included on the webcast schedule on the AT&T blue room site. We were originally told that Radiohead would be included by the blue room people so that is why we posted it. If for some reason the band’s performance is not webcast, don’t shoot the messenger! 😉
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke has confirmed an appearance on an American chat show, reports NME.com.
The star will be one of the guests on ‘The Henry Rollins Show’, where he will be promoting his debut solo album ‘The Eraser’. Yorke will feature on the programme on July 15.
Former Black Flag frontman Rollins’ show, broadcast on the IFC Network, features the likes of Dinosaur Jr., Peaches and Dashboard Confessional in future episodes.
‘The Eraser’ is released on July 10 on XL Records.
In other news, according to a Rolling Stone’s report, Radiohead are to remain without a long-term contract.
The band has been without a deal since their contract with EMI expired last year, and Yorke told the magazine that the band are keen to make each future album a one-off, label wise.
He said: “My big problem with corporate structure is this bizarre sense of loyalty you’re supposed to feel-towards what is basically a virus. It grows or dies, like any virus. And you use it for your own selfish ends.
“Jonny (Greenwood, Radiohead guitarist) had a big problem with the fact that we didn’t have any obligation – a release date or anything. He found it difficult to work in a vacuum. Which is one of the reasons why we chose to go out on tour: ‘This is something we can work toward’. It’s human nature. Personally, I don’t have that. But I can see why, if you’re a group of people, you need it.”

Popcorn Superhet Receiver
An orchestral piece by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood is to be performed at Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Titled ‘Popcorn Superhet Receiver’, the work is an exploration in white noise and will be performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and conducted by Robert Ziegler.
Also performed on the night will be pieces by Pulp arranger and former Art Of Noise member Anne Dudley, and by Steve Martland, whose work has been released on the legendary Factory Records.
The concert takes place on November 24 and tickets are priced at £10.
‘Popcorn Superhet Receiver’ was premiered in April at the tiny St Luke’s Church in London, home of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Greenwood has previously released a solo soundtrack to the 2003 film ‘Bodysong’ and was appointed the BBC’s Composer in Residence in 2004.

Due to the increased traffic from Radiohead touring the US, our server has been maxed out and will require us to upgrade to a more costly dedicated server. This upgrade is happening this week so until then, things may be a little slow.
