Radiohead's Colin Greenwood hints at a flexible song selection for the band's upcoming performances, with approximately 70 tunes on the table.
After a seven-year hiatus from live performances, legendary British rock band Radiohead has announced a series of European residencies later this year. The news has sent waves of excitement through the music community, with fans eagerly anticipating the band's return to the stage.
According to the band's official announcement, the setlist for these live shows is likely to be mixed, featuring approximately 70 songs from their extensive repertoire. Colin Greenwood, Radiohead's bassist, hinted at a "busking approach" to assembling the setlist, suggesting that songs may be played in any order at any time. This approach is intended to create a unique and unpredictable experience for each audience.
Interestingly, Colin and his brother, Jonny Greenwood, are not part of the setlist committee due to their indecisiveness. Instead, the name of the person who will compile the performances remains undisclosed.
In addition to the music, Radiohead has also announced several charitable initiatives associated with these live shows. UK ticket prices will include a £1 levy that will go to the Music Live Trust's initiative to support grassroots venues. For the European dates, €1 per ticket will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières.
In a generous gesture, Radiohead has promised to match the total funds raised for Médecins Sans Frontières. This means that the total amount donated to the charity could potentially double, making a significant impact on their humanitarian efforts.
Tickets for these highly anticipated shows go on sale this Friday. Each fan can purchase a maximum of four tickets, with seats primarily allocated to fans living near the shows. Registration on Radiohead's website is required to purchase tickets. Unlock codes to buy tickets will be sent to fans on Wednesday, September 10.
It's worth noting that this will be the first time Radiohead has performed shows without new material to play as work in progress. However, Colin Greenwood hinted that if rehearsals produce new material, it could be included in the setlist.
This exciting news marks a significant moment for Radiohead fans and the music industry alike. With a flexible setlist, charitable initiatives, and the promise of a unique live experience, these European residencies are shaping up to be a memorable event.
