North American Tour

We just want to make sure everyone is clear about the ticket sales for the first leg of the North American tour. Turn to MTV.com to pre-order tickets to the first six dates. The pre-sale runs from Thursday, May 10, at 10am ET to Friday, May 11th, 10pm ET. Log on early! A sale to the general public will happen this weekend so to avoid any problems, we would advise you get your tickets through the pre-sale. For a list of the tour dates and more detailed ticket info, check our tour dates page. 🙂

Speaking of MTV, Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song” is one of the “Play My Song” videos listed for TRL. You can go here and vote for it to appear on TRL. For some reason MTV goofed and has the title of “Pyramid Song” as “Never Had a Dream Come True”. True, true…
Thom Yorke sits down and talks shop with the NME in their newest issue. Why has Thom decided to once again talk to the magazine after 5 years of ignoring them? “I just got sick of holding grudges basically.” Read more here.
HMV.com is holding a sweet contest that any Radiohead fan will salivate over. 5 lucky winners will win a prize pack with the following goodies:

– 1 Advance Limited Edition copy of ‘Amnesiac’
– 1 Limited Edition copy of ‘Kid A’
– 1 DVD of Radiohead film “Meeting People is Easy”
– 1 CD single for “I Might be Wrong”
– 1 vinyl & 1 CD version of the single for “Idioteque”
– 1 Interview CD with Johnny and Colin Greenwood

There is a catch, however. The winners will get their advance copy of Amnesiac before it’s release so they can put on their own listening party. For more details check here. Please note: The contest is only open to Canadians.

Make sure to check out the great interview Colin and Ed did for Ground Zero at www.spinner.com/groundzero

Kid A Radiohead

Our Kid Eh

Our Kid Eh
On May 14 Manchester-based rock gods The Shirehorses (they’re huge in England, really) will release their mildly anticipated second album ‘Our Kid Eh’. The artwork parodies an album of a similar title from some local pub band from Oxford called ‘Radiohead’, and the second track on the Shirehorses album parodies one of Radiohead’s songs.

Find out (slightly) more from http://www.sonymusic.co.uk/shirehorses. Mark and Lard, the creative force behind the band, also find time to DJ on Radio 1: find out more about them somewhere within http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1. {thanks to Paul and Will}

Attention Vancouver Fans!

This was posted today at the 99.3 The Fox Website:

The FOX is presenting Radiohead at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium on June 24th. Tickets officially go on sale Saturday, May 12th at Ticketmaster for $49.50 plus facility fee and service charge (4 ticket limit). Listen to The FOX to win Free tickets all week!

There seems to be some confusion about Butler Field, the location of the Chicago Radiohead show on August 1. Butler Field is in Grant Park, where the soon-to-be-dismantled Petrillo Music Shell is, where the Chicago Jazz Festival (among other things) is held every year. Previous reports of it being at Soldier Field were incorrect.
