New Material & A New Tour?

From the NME:

Radiohead are reportedly planning a low-key tour in summer 2002 to road test new material.

The group are currently taking a break following the conclusion of the world tour in support of this year’s ‘Amnesiac’ album.
In the time away, Radiohead have tentatively started working on new material, some of which featured in the later shows of the band’s world tour.

Now, in an interview with The Face magazine, the band revealed that they were considering three weeks worth of shows next August to work through some of the material live, as part of a campaign to release their sixth album at the start of 2003.

When asked if the group were planning any massive summer shows like an appearance at next year’s Glastonbury festival, guitarist Ed O’Brien said: ‘I’m not allowed to say (anything about) that! The idea is that we don’t want to do anything big. The idea is to be pretty self-indulgent – that means we’ll play new material. And I don’t think playing Glastonbury, or any festival, is conducive to that.’

Radiohead Thom Yorke tour

Funny

The very funny site, http://www.thewafer.co.uk, has the following “satirical” article up on their site:

Radiohead’s lead singer, Thom Yorke has controversially announced that he, “can’t think of anything to be sad or angry about, anymore.” The Oxford born singer/songwriter, best known for some of the most angst ridden and meaningful songs in music told Musical Box magazine in an interview published this week that, “I’ve come to a stage, and I think that the band have aswell, where we’ve run out of things to be bothered about. Everywhere you look there’s celebrities taking up world issues and going on the television, and making speeches. Our manager showed us a list of things that we could adopt as our like, personal crusade. But all that was left was a nature reserve in Malta. It wasn’t even a big nature reserve. I mean, bollocks…”

Livid Festival
There was a rumor that Radiohead may play the Livid Festival in Australia. Unfortunately, their name did not appear on the just released line-up. {thanks to Nick}
