After
months of speculation, Radiohead has confirmed the first North American
leg of
its 2008 tour in support of In Rainbows. The
group will touch down in the U.S.
for the first time since 2006 on May 5 for a stop at West Palm Beach,
FL’s
Cruzan Amphitheatre. From there, the group will hit amphitheatres and
arenas in
Tampa, FL
(5/6), Atlanta
(5/8), Atlanta
(5/8), Charlotte, NC (5/9), Bristow, VA (5/11), St Louis, Missouri
(5/14), Houston
(5/17) and Dallas (5/18). Radiohead will then spend the first part of
the
summer touring Europe, before returning to North America for a more
extensive
tour that will hit markets like Boston, Chicago, Cleveland,
Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Montreal, Philadelphia, San Diego, San
Francisco, Santa Barbara,
Seattle, St Louis,
Toronto, Vancouver
and Washington DC. The group is also heavily rumored to headline
New Jersey’s
All Points West Festival in August.
A pre-sale for Radiohead’s
confirmed tourdates will begin February 14, with a general on-sale following on
February 16. Guitarist Ed O’Brien has also publicly commented on the
announcement that EMI, Radiohead’s former label, would release a greatest hits
album, stating “They're planning to do a Greatest Hits for April, May to
coincide with our tour. That's an interesting one. We won't be doing any
promotion for that, obviously.”
