On tour now: Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead
WHAT ARE THEY KNOWN FOR?
Their bleak moments. Maybe it's family life, maybe they've finally become bored with the bitter-and-twisted act, but they seem to be cheering up.
WHERE CAN I SEE THEM?
Glasgow Green, June 27; Lancashire County Cricket Club, Old Trafford, Manchester, June 29.
TIME ON STAGE?
Plan for 8.15pm.
SET LENGTH?
Two hours.
WHAT DO YOU GET?
It's always about self-confessed neurotic Thom Yorke (pictured) going into himself, and the intensity of the moment.
WHAT'S THEIR SECRET?
That rare combination of having something to say, meaning it and whipping up a crowd to believe in it, too.
WHO GOES TO SEE THEM?
They've gone from the bedsit brigade to the corporate crowd, even though the thought may stick in their craw.
HIGHLIGHTS?
Lucky, Paranoid Android, My Iron Lung, The Bends, All I Need.
