Intimately Radiohead
Updated 08:43 PDT Mon, May 01 2006
Radiohead has announced a U.S. tour in addition to its summer festival dates.
The performances will take place in smaller than usual venues, and will feature appropriately scaled down staging and lighting design, creating a suitably intimate environment for the first ever airings of several new songs.
The theatre / amphitheatre run begins with a two-night run June 1 in Philadelphia. In fact, all of the band's tour stops are two-nighters with the exception of the June 17 set at Bonnaroo.
Set lists for the shows will draw heavily on the newer material the band has been working on over the past months.
The U.S. dates will be preceded by a similar tour of Europe and the U.K., followed by a string of U.K. / Europe festival dates, including the already sold out V festival Aug. 19 & 20, with others TBA.
There are no plans for a Radiohead album release any time in 2006.

fliggil

any word on when the New York tix will go on sale?

SeekOnce

Um, check post #3.

spinning plates

they usually play at the greek theater or hollywood bowl. i don't see how that is so intimate nor a change of venue... but ok.

Giles

They (or in this the tour manager) owes us Washingtonians a show - since the last time they came round, a torrential rain cancelled both Bull Run VA shows.

mkdevo

ugh.. there was a waste presale at about 6:00am EST today that didn't last long at all.. i missed it...

gonna try for NYC and Boston on ticketmaster though.. fingers crossed..

dvduser6

I was thinking the same thing. Let them play three nights at the Wiltern or maybe Gibson (formrely Universal) Amphitheater: THAT's a more 'intimate' show to me than the Greek.

Daytripper

What is "the theater" at Madison Square Garden?

Giles

from the Madison Square Garden website
In and Around the Garden


Also located in the heart of Manhattan on Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, is The Theater at Madison Square Garden. It has been the venue for annual family shows and theatricals, the NFL and NBA Drafts, CBS Television's Fall Premiere, Con Edison's Shareholder Meetings, Product Launches for Infinity and Intel, Oxford Health Plans Award Ceremony, Corporate Employee Meetings, college graduations, and religious conferences.

RobertinDetroit

Once again, Radiohead avoids Detroit.

I'm really starting to dislike them because of that.

Giles

I think once the album comes out (in 2007?) - they'll come back (they better) to more US cities. These elitist tours are becoming old and shitty.

The Bus

I saw them play at a pavillion-type place in Columbia, Md. years ago when they were touring for the newest album. I'm sure they've toured since but that show was really close to DC.

Giles

oh you're right

Columbia MD: 08/23/03
Bull Run VA: 2001

has it been that long?

SpaceBoy

I sure hope I can score some Boston tickets, but won't get up my hopes. I"m sure it will sellout instantly.

I just want in the building. I saw radiohead 1 time in person, at Grant Park in Chicago a fe w years ago, it was sweet.

Matt

Yeah, but can you really blame them?

JAA

Go easy there, Babalooie! Detroit has a long (and glorious) music history. BTW, what great metro area are you near? Is that an Okie designation in your profile?

TripWire

got GA for MSG Theater for the 14th, just luck though, the site was open on one computer and still closed on the other for some reason. Also might be going to the 13th, depends if my friend's ticket request form goes through.
that's some bullshit with ticketmaster now with the banning you if you refresh, basically locks you out of getting tickets, luckily I have 2 seperate ip's at work to use, you figure ticketmaster could find a better way to handle a gaterush than just to ban you, there's no warning of this either on the page, bet a lot of people are pissed off about that.

damn, I'll have to try to get philly tickets tommorow, as I lost out on both shows today. Couldn't get Sonic Youth tickets for CBGB's either. There needs to be some kind of investigation on ticketmaster, and their relationships with scalpers.

DamingR

There is no investigation needed. They admit to selling blocks of tickets to scalpers. They have a monopoly and are using it to rape the customers.

BTW, how many refreshes does it take to get you banned? If you don't sit there and hit F5 repeatedly you will never get tickets.

TripWire

I would estimate around 4 or 5 times quickly when the site opened, it definately didn't take much. I don't know what their rate is set to ban you, but it's not set fairly at all. What do they expect people to do while their site is timing out and you are trying to get in exactly when tickets are going on sale.
I actually almost lost the tickets in the checkout process, it errored out on the first process, luckily when I used the back button I was able to process the charge again successfully.

The Bus

$800 a pair for GA tickets on eBay.

SpaceBoy

Nevermind, I hope I get lucky tomorrow

It does seem like it's around 5 refreshes quickly. You can test for yourself just go one of the pages with ticket information and hit refresh like 5 times and you get bumped out to the main listing of tickets and can't get back to a specific sale date info page.
