Radiohead to play Germany

According to www.visions.de, Radiohead will be playing a show at Parkbuhne Wuhlheide in Berlin, Germany on September 11, 2001. Ticket info to come soon… {thanks to JAn}

Radiohead on for biggest chart hit. “Radiohead look likely to achieve their biggest hit single ever, according to midweek sales figures. The Pyramid Song is the band’s first single in three years following their decision not to release any from the album Kid A. Despite little radio play for the track, figures show it sitting behind DJ Pied Piper’s Do You Really Like It?, selling 16,761 copies.”

Hunting Bears

Some of you may have noticed that a French radio DJ, Bernard Lenoir, has been playing a song that he’s claiming is “Hunting Bears” from Amnesaic. The trouble is, the song sounds nothing like “Hunting Bears” and has left many, including myself, confused. We have now learned that the song is indeed not “Hunting Bears” but a new Radiohead song called “Tongue Tied” which will appear as a B-Side for the upcoming “Knives Out” single. The track, which was actually recorded last year, was reportedly leaked by Radiohead’s tour manager, Hilda Carr. If you want to hear “Tounge Tied” then click here. {thanks to DasMonkey}

Radiohead will be performing “Pyramid Song” on Top of the Pops this Friday, May 25 at 7:30pm on BBC1. Also, next Sunday, May 27, there will be an interview with Radiohead on Top of the Pops plus which is on at 12:00 midday. {thanks to Steve, James, and Jack}

And the Butler Field saga continues…

I have never gotten as much email about a certain tour date as I did on this one… Last week Billboard.com announced the Chicago August 1 show as being held in Grant Park’s Butler Field. Well, it appears that there is going to be a Opera of some sort at Butler Field on August 1 so unless Radiohead is planning something outrageous with an opera (and yes, we could picture Jonny having a field day with that!), Butler Field will not be the location of the show. But don’t worry…. According to the City of Chicago Permits Office, the show will take place the same night at Arvey Field, which is also part of Grant Park. The show will be put on by Jam Production and the tickets will supposedly go on sale around June 16 by none other than Ticketmaster.

So there you have it. This information is still unconfirmed by the band but hopefully it’ll help you out.
