In the past week, Musicnet reported (January 7, 2002) about the return of Radiohead to Portugal, which was announced by the show promotion company, Tourne
Tourne denied contact with the band in an interview with the newspaper “A Capital” last Friday (January 11, 2002). The same newspaper, in yesterday’s edition quotes Tourn?e confirming Radiohead’s return to Portugal in 2002.
It is rumored that Radiohead will perform 3 dates in Portugal sometime in June/July. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
It appears that Radiohead will begin touring again sometime in June or July in Portugal. Musicnet.pt is reporting the following (translated from Portuguese):
“Radiohead will return to Portugal this year. Musicnet has learned that one of the biggest Portuguese showbiz production companies, Tourne, is preparing to bring Thom Yorke’s group for 3 concerts, two in the Atlantic Pavillion in Lisbon and the other in Oporto. The gigs will occur around June/July.
Meanwhile, “Amnesiac”, the last LP from Radiohead was considered by the Musicnet’s visitors as the Best 2001 Album.”
This news has also been announced by various other Portuguese media, including Radio Commercial, the largest radio station in Portugal, but has yet to be officialy announced and confirmed by Radiohead’s management.
So far no other dates have been announced but if these Portuguese dates are confirmed, expect others…

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.’
