    Tickets for Radiohead's October UK arena tour, their first in the UK for four years, will cost £65.

    The Oxford band, who are currently touring North America in support of their new album 'The King Of Limbs', will play three shows on the UK tour, with tickets costing £65 (plus £6.50 in booking fees) or £47.50 (plus £4.75 in booking fees).

    Bit steep.

    So assuming an Irish date would be just as expensive that would work out at €85.

    I'd pay that much for Radiohead but they have a massive Irish fanbase so I think they'd sell out regardless.

    They have to come here, Radiohead never miss Ireland.

    I'd be all over this. *Subscribes to thread*

    Any update on whether Radiohead are playing Ireland?

    Not sure why you'd pay over a tenner to see these lot. Saw them twice. Both times excrutiatingly boring. Not so much as a 'hello Ireland' out of Thom Yorke, but he was so far up his own arse I'd say that's all he could see. Last time there was all this bull about the greenness and sustainability of their tour setup. I wasn't surprised when I saw their stage setup. Bunch of LED lights that you could barely see so, on top of the musical equivalent of two hours of ****, they didn't even have a decent stage light show to look at. Total bunch of cúnts!

    sounds like you're not a Radiohead fan then so I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy it. They're excellent musicians who have explored the boundaries of music and experiment using loads of different types of musical gear-it's fascinating seeing them at work. I hope you didn't miss out on Westlife's last gigs at the weekend, I heard they had a deadly light show...

    Saw them in Marley Park a few years back. Worst gig I've ever seen by a big band. Total snooze fest.

    I saw them twice - once back in around 1998, I think - brilliant gig. Saw them around 2008 in Malahide Castle - bit of a borefest but would go again to give them another chance.

    I've always found them very hit and miss. Seen them around 7 times I think and they've been amazing and quite boring as close as a few weeks apart.

    Any sign of a Dublin show????


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,245 ✭✭✭old gregg


    Doubt it will happen this year anyway.
