Radiohead webcast on New Year’s Eve and Day

A special performance by Radiohead will be aired exclusively in the USA by Current TV on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The band will be performing all of the tracks from its newest album, In Rainbows.

The broadcast is a taped, private, hour-long performance, which will run commercial-free on Current TV and on www.current.com simultaneously. Radiohead previously mentioned another webcast after their recent ‘Thumb’s Down’ webcast. Ed O’Brien said that they will be doing some more cover songs. One of them is most likely a track by Siouxsie and the Banshees. In the past week several webcast pictures were already posted over at Dead Air Space. “We are pleased to partner with Current for its innovative spirit” said Phil Costello, head of TBD Records, Radiohead’s US record label.

    err, im gonna be out celebrating new years with friends, getting nice and pissed, theres no way im gonna be inside by myself hunched over a computer…

  • Raymond Swartz

    I will have a new years party with Mexican clan and then home to watch a concert that was designed for the poor and I appreciate that… Because after the scalpers get to it just after TicketHiker(TicketMaster) the concert tickets will be going for a couple of hundred and to a select few. But since its recorded for us, I will get a chance as well as many others will see a beautiful Radiohead concert for all our souls.

  • Raymond Swartz

    Thank you for the current times in our area. Thanks Atease.

  • jack

    what time in aus?

  • Lawrence

    EST is GMT-5, go figure.

  • Carl

    So the U.S. gets a TV Broadcast version and everyone else has to make do with a crappy webstream? Why do Radiohead think their non-U.S. fans don’t want to watch the performance in the highest possible quality? Sorry, that fucking SUCKS!

  • macbethscrazywife

    confusion…shouldn’t the webcast be 4pm PST/7pm EST?

  • macbethscrazywife

    carl—maybe it’s because a different record company is handling radiohead’s US promotion? just a guess

  • hpgirl

    yeah carl, i don’t think radiohead do these things, cause if u actually went to radioheads website, maybe u would see that thom had no idea what was going to be going on with other ways to see the webcast…people just need to be thankful that radiohead does these things, other bands haven’t, or so i think…geebeez

  • arel

  • sam

    whats the difference between the current tv broadcast and the webcast thom announced on DAS ? the current one starts about 5 hours later, so are they different?

  • Raymond Swartz

    ATEASE… you are the shit! Everytime I wanted to here about Radiohead… There is so much cool stuff to peak my interest. I am so glad that Radiohead is performing a concert on Television. I would not be able to compete the internet and the millions of fans fighting over 40,000 or so in CLos Angeles, California tickets that the RICH would of got a hold of and us poor folk would have to wait in line for about 12 seconds and then hear the announcement that the concert is sold out… But not Good Ol’ Radiohead. Entertaining the folks around the world with an INTERNET FEED for the masses. Oh Yeah… Radiohead… Have a live concert and charge what you want for the fans… Millions of Dollars and Millions of Fans…
