Radiohead announce UK tour dates

Radiohead have announced the first handful of dates for their UK tour.

The band will play shows in London and Manchester as part of their 2012 world tour, which is in support of their latest album The King of Limbs.

Radiohead will first play a set at Manchester’s Evening News Arena on October 6, before moving on to perform two gigs at London’s O2 Arena on October 8 and 9.

The concerts are expected to include material from The King of Limbs, along with some favourites from their back catalogue and two new tracks.

Radiohead have been performing new cuts ‘Identikit’ and ‘Cut A Hole’ as part of the North American leg of their tour, which began last month.

Tickets for their UK shows will go on sale from 9am on March 9, while an online pre-sale will be available for fan club members from 9am on March 7.
