Radiohead will be the musical guests on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live next month. According to USA Today, the show will begin its 37th season with host Alec Baldwin on September 24th.
This will be the second time Radiohead have been musical guests on SNL. Back in 2000, the band performed “The National Anthem” and “Idioteque” on the show shortly after Kid A was released.
Radiohead drummer and all around good guy, Phil Selway, recently talked with BBC 6 Music about his recent solo work. During the interview, he hinted that Radiohead may be in for some live dates soon, saying that the band has been discussing doing more shows after their recent Glastonbury performance.
When asked whether the slot on the Park Stage had whetted their appetite for a potential tour he admitted it had.
“Absolutely that is what we are talking about at the moment, it felt exciting doing that and it felt like we had something else to offer musically.
“It just felt like a new lease of life in what we are doing, and we would like to see where that takes us.”
After the jump, you can listen to Phil’s interview and also learn more about his new EP release. Oh, and for good measure, we’ll throw in a video of Radiohead’s recent Glastonbury performance.

Thom Yorke surprised many today by handing out copies of the Radiohead’s newspaper, The Universal Sigh, in person today in London.
A huge queue of people lined up outside London’s Rough Trade East this afternoon to try and get a copy of the free publication.
At one point, Thom stepped out of the record store and began handing out the papers to fans to the surprise of everyone.
