According to the Lowlands Music Festival website, Radiohead will be playing the Dutch festival along with Arcade Fire and Pearl Jam the weekend of August 17th.
We do want to stress that nothing has been announced by the band themselves so please consider this a rumor until made official.

UPDATE: We have been told that this is not the official Lowlands site so this may all be crap. Whatever. 🙂
According to the NME, Radiohead is rumored to be playing the T in the Park (Scotland) festival as well as the Oxegen Festival (Ireland). We’ll wait and see…

Rollingstone.com is having a discussion about which album is more “influential and essential” from the 1990s. Is it Nirvana’s Nevermind or OK Computer from some band called Radiohead. I think you know where we stand.
“Both changed the face of music and gave fans tired of the old “Beatles vs. Rolling Stones” debate something new to nerd out about. Everyone, it seems, has a preference, and some would say that the band you prefer is a reflection of the kind of person you are.”
Go check out the discussion and make sure to read the comments. Our favorite is from “wigga with no aptitude”: “Both of those albums are untouchable… it’s like asking me which testicle do I want to keep… I WANT TO KEEP BOTH OF MY NUTS DAMMIT!… and I love OK Computer and Nevermind just as equally.”
Let’s try something fun, shall we? Can you guess who made this statement recently?
“I like listening to Thom Yorke from Radiohead. That’s good sexy-time music.”
The first one that can email us with the correct answer at info (at) greenplastic.com will be the winner! Sorry, no prize…. this is just for giggles.
UPDATE: WE HAVE A WINNER! Congrats go to Tom. The correct answer is Christina Aguilera. She mentioned Thom and Radiohead in an recent interview she gave about how she just recorded a song about oral sex. Check it.
A lot of people guessed Borat, which isn’t surprising.
From the NME:
Radiohead have denied their album will be released on August 6 despite an internet retailer listing that release date.
According to the listing on Amazon.co.uk, it was claimed that the record, described as ‘New Album – TBC’ would be released via EMI Records.
However a spokesperson for Radiohead has denied that this is the case.
As previously reported, the band fulfilled its contract with the label with their last album, ‘Hail To The Thief’ in 2003, and a new deal or label has not yet been announced.
