Radiohead cancel intimate Chicago show
A Radiohead pre-Lollapalooza warm-up show at the Chicago Theatre that had been scheduled for Thursday was pulled by the band at the last minute, industry sources said Tuesday.
Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot reports that the show had been in the works for weeks and the band was to announce details for a ticket sale this week on radiohead.com, but decided against playing the extra show today.
Radiohead pulled the plug on the show because Thom Yorke has been sick, and he wanted to rest up before the band’s headlining slot Friday night (August 1) at Lollapalooza in Chicago’s Grant Park, where the band will kick-off the second leg of the North American tour.

I don’t think Radiohead’s set will be webcasted due to the whole AT&T blue room thing. Same thing happened with Bonnaroo.

Okay, I just checked the website, looks like Radiohead’s set will not be webcasted, they don’t appear on the schedule.
Damn you Radiohead and your anti-corporate views!

That person from chicago has embellished previous information about a chicago performance (2006) in order to give the appearance that he knows the details.

I hope he sees a full recovery, not just for his sake, but for our sake as well! I CANNOT wait for Montréal, Vancouver, Auburn, and San Francisco!

Greg Kot does know the details, he is the rock critic for the Chicago Tribune.

A Radiohead secret intimate show that fans knew nothing about but Chicago corrupt ticket brokers and rock critics all knew about? Sounds less like a Radiohead move than a Stones move. Lame. Glad its off. Stop acting like rock stars.
