This just in! It was announced moments ago that Radiohead will be headlining this year’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The band will join over 150 other musicians in the four day event. Tickets will go on sale this Saturday, February 18th at noon ET at www.bonnaroo.com/tickets/.
Radiohead’s performance will be on Friday, June 8th. For all other acts, please head on over to Bonnaroo.com. Will you be going?
The legendary performance that Radiohead gave at 2006’s Bonnaroo Music Festival has since been regarded as one of the best shows the band has ever done. Even the band will agree that the 28 song set was epic. We’ve been hearing rumors ever since that a DVD of the performance would be released, and while that hasn’t happened yet, fans will be able to get a taste of that evening thanks to Fuse TV.
As a precursor to Fuse?’s live coverage of Bonnaroo ?2008, the channel will be airing footage from Radiohead?’s 2006 performance as part of it?s “Best of Bonnaroo: Volume I” special starting the weekend of Friday, June 13th.
Specific airtimes have yet to be announced, but more information will be posted soon at Fuse’s Bonnaroo page:

Get those DVRs ready!
The lineup for Oxegen 07 was announced and there is no mention of Radiohead.
Radiohead was rumored to be playing this festival but of course, that was just a rumor. There is some speculation that they may still headline Sunday night. Who knows.
While the chances of Radiohead playing Oxegen are now slimmer than before, we can still look to the T in the Park festival.
Though nothing has been announced officially about the band being there, we continue to get word that it should happen.
How about Bonnaroo? After last year’s awesome (and lengthy performace) by Radiohead at the Manchester, Tennessee festival, many people have asked us if they will be back this year. Nope. It’s not going to happen folks. Sorry. Our guess is that the timing is just bad. You do want them to finish the new album, right?
Speaking of the new album… we should hopefully have some updates for you soon on this, as well as the tour, soon.
