Radiohead unravel mystery tour dates

Mystery seems to be a [tag]Radiohead[/tag] trademark, from cryptic runes (those were fun though), to a sporadic out of the blue new album, to a basement gig footage and most recently details have surfaced of the band’s much anticipated 2008 tour. The dates for the summer European tour were announced yesterday and included some vague schedueling for Manchester, Dublin or Glasgow; at the time I didn’t know if this was intentionally put to confuse or just a scheduling problem from behalf of the management. Well I still don’t know the answer to that question, but what’s important is that the full and complete dates and venues were released to the public.

In other related news the first In Rainbows discbox sets were shipped yesterday (3 December), containing a CD and Vinyl versions of ‘In Rainbows’ together with a lyrics booklet and probably most importantly the CD 2, containing 8 new (old for live fans) tracks. The band’s management is probably busy shipping tons of sets, so patience is a must. The CD only version as previously reported gets out on December 31 via XL, and on the first day of the year 2008 in North America via ATO.  USA and Canadian fans should not despair though, as a North American tour is set to be announced anytime soon, at least I hope so.
