Thom Yorke surprised us all by performing a one-off show in Cornwall last night as part of the European Fish Fry festival.

A small crowd in Crackington Haven were treated to what appears to be an acoustic set by Thom. Outside of this, we really don’t know what he played or why he was even there.

More info as it become available…

Stephen Colbert

Yes, you read that headline correctly. Next Monday, September 26, Radiohead will be guests on a special one hour edition of The Colbert Report, which airs on Comedy Central. This is the first hour-long special the show has ever done.

Radiohead will perform four songs, featuring material off its most recent album, The King of Limbs, as well as the recently debuted and unreleased track, “The Daily Mail.” An additional song will also be performed for the online version of The Colbert Report.

Colbert said in a statement: “I look forward to meeting the Radioheads and leveraging their anti-corporate indie cred to raise brand awareness for my sponsors.”

This special episode will air two days after Radiohead kicks off the new Saturday Night Live season with host Alec Baldwin.

It’s been understood that Radiohead will be touring at some point in the near future. Recently, Ed O’Brien mentioned that the band was booking tour dates for 2012 so it comes as no surprise to hear rumors about possible gigs. There’s a rumor floating around now that Radiohead will be headlining Coachella next April, according to the music trade publication, Hits Daily Double:

The same is true with high-profile festivals like Coachella, which has locked in No Doubt and Radiohead as two of next year’s headliners…

Once we know for sure, we’ll let you know. Stay tuned!
