Following all the hoo-ha about their new album, Radiohead have announced they will be playing live dates next year.

Their manager, Bryce Edge, revealed that the band will be playing from May onwards with “lots of holidays”. He went on to say that they are trying to schedule a tour which will take in North America and the rest of the world which works for the band. He finished by saying Thom Yorke isn’t a fan of going on tour:

“He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping round the world is not top of his favourite things to do,” he said. “It’s the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck. They’re not road dogs. They never have been.”
