ORIGINAL: Radiohead has announced their first headline festival slot, with multiple publications claiming the band will tour in 2016 to support their as-yet unnamed ninth album.
Openair St. Gallen, a Swizz music festival, released their line-up, with Thom Yorke’s band heading up the bill, followed by Mumford & Sons, Deichkind (a German hip-hop collective popular in the country) and Fettes Brot (another German hip-hop group).
Consequence of Sound is also reporting that Radiohead plan to do several other festivals across the world, with a North American tour expected to take place in July. Radiohead’s last live performance was in November 2012.
The band recently set up a mysterious company called Dawn Chorus, leading many to believe their next album could be released any day now.
With the release of King of Limbs, the band did a similar thing, starting up Ticker Tape Limited, and for In Rainbows, for which they started Xurbia Xendless Limited.
Yorke recently released the band’s attempt at the Spectre theme song. Sam Smith, who performed the song used in the Spectre film, recently claimed he hadn’t listen to Radiohead’s attempt, seemingly forgetting who Thom York was completely.
