Radiohead might be playing South America for the first time next year, Ed O’Brien revealed on BBC Radio 1′s Zane Lowe show. It’s likely that Japan will get a visit from the band as well.
Apart from the earlier revealed plans of touring in May, June and July next year; It looks like the band have finally decided to answer the long-time wishes of the South Americans by playing their continent. Although Ed did narrow it down immediately to just two countries: “We’ll hopfully go to Japan and hopefully South America, where we haven’t been before. Well, Argentina and Brazil”.
Ed also said they’re not playing bigger venues: “In America we’re visiting a lot of the same places. We’ve severly limited the places we can play. Our agent is now well versed in our ways and has ruled out a whole load of places for us to play”.
Thom: “I’m happy with the product endorsement now. I’ve come through my No Logo phase. I don’t care anymore… unfortunately: not true”.
Ed said he was looking forward to play, but that Thom needed more pursuading this time. Thom: “I’ll be alright. I’ll get nice and warm and sticky and I’ll be fine. It’s fine. It’s fine. I’ll love it. It’s fine. I’ll love it”
About playing festivals. Ed: “If you get the right ones, they’re really great. You don’t get a soundcheck. You just go for it. What’s good about it is the sum of all these bands. Not just people just coming to see you. And that is a really good thing. You”ll supply a little thing to their (festival weekend) experience.”
Thom: “That’s the thing that keeps my going. The idea of the collective experience. Thousands of people in a field wanting the same thing at the same place and with the same mind set.
