Ab Mai 2008 auf Welttournee. Ob es den ersten Ö-Gig geben wird?
"Radiohead will embark on a rare international tour starting next spring, Billboard.com can reveal. Although details are still sketchy, expect the British alternative rock band to play multiple markets, in sizeable venues. "We plan to tour next year, starting in May through to probably the end of the year. With lots of holidays in that period," says Bryce Edge of Courtyard Management, the firm that manages the band. "At the moment we are talking with our agents in North America and for the rest of the world, trying to get a schedule which works for the band and works financially," he adds.
An extended run will be a treat for dedicated fans who missed Radiohead's summer 2006 dates, which landed in a handful of European and north American markets. "They toured last summer almost for creative reasons, definitely not for financial reasons. And I think they quite enjoyed it," explains Edge. "The next set of touring will be slightly larger-scale venues." Frontman Thom Yorke is anything but a fan of international treks and, in the past, the singer has raised concerns over the effects of touring on climate change. "He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping around the world is not top of his list of favorite things to do," adds Edge. "He really enjoys playing to the fans - it's just the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck (for Yorke). They're not road dogs. They never have been."" [billboard.com]

"Ob es den ersten Ö-Gig geben wird?"
Glaub ich nicht. Außerdem: Wo sollten sie spielen?Stadthalle? Gasometer? *grusel*

besser stadthalle als gar nicht. vielleicht wird's ja auch sommerlich. und man lässt sich in sachen freiluftkonzert etwas einfallen. darf eigentlich noch der residenzplatz in salzburg bespielt werden? wenn ja, perfekt. obwohl: so recht daran glauben tu ich auch nicht. folglich rechne ich dann doch eher wieder mit 'ner auslandsreise...
