Thom & Jonny to play exlusive Big Ask gig
Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood will headline an exclusive gig at Koko in London on May 1st. The show is in support of 'The Big Ask', a Friends of The Earth campaign which is calling on the UK government to take action to control climate change. This will be the first live performance by Thom and Jonny for over a year; Radiohead are currently in the studio working on new music.
The bank holiday show is just one of the highlights of 'The Big Ask Live', a series of concerts taking place across the UK that will feature some of the biggest names and the brightest new talent in British music.
Thom said; "The best thing about 'The Big Ask' for me is the fact that there's no longer this sense of powerlessness, which is what I had for so long about climate change". For the latest information go to www.thebigask.com

"I was angling for the tour in the sun. You only live once!" singer Thom Yorke joked. "But no, Blackpool it is."
Bassist Colin Greenwood added:
"We're doing these shoes in the UK and some Europeam ones. We had an option to play some bigger shows to 10,000 people in Eastern Europe, but it's the wrong time because they'd want to hear older songs and we want to use this time to play some new ones.
"We're playing these shows so we can do [new songs] and have people come and be excited about being in the space. In some ways we're going to be showing our sketchbook in public and trying to play old songs that we haven't played for a long time too. It's all going to be a challenge. We're going to half-play new songs and half-remember old songs!"
The experience of touring 'Hail To The Thief' before its release was a positive one for Radiohead. As a result of the audience reaction some tracks were dropped while others became instant fan favourites. Thom hopes the British audiences will be as honest as possible this time too.
"It's going to be hit and miss," he confessed. "sometimes the only way you can tell where you're at with stuff is to play it for people. We hope that people will tell us what they think. If they think it's shite then we need to know that as well, really."
Thom on why they're playing V;
"I based [our decision to do it] on seeing Franz Ferdinand last year, just watching it on TV. I thought they were good, and Dizzee Rascal was the best thing - he was fucking bonkers," Thom told NME. "It's a British festival. I obviously don't necessarily agree with the sponsorship, but Glastonbury's not happening this year. I was thinking at the time it'd be good to remind ourselves of what we've done. to play lots of old stuff and get into that mode and see what it feels like, rather than rejecting it wholesale forever more. V was the first thing that came up, in a way. We started thinking it'd be good to get out a bit!"
Thom on turning down an invite from the Prime Minister;
"Luckily, in the end the decision was kind of made for me," Thom told NME. "There's this whole thing going on at the moment with Blair and the nuclear thing. This all started kicking off about two or three weeks before I was supposed to meet with Blair, which I was not happy about anyway for obvious reasons, ie Iraq.
"It was, 'If we could just have a metting beforehand where we could go through how it would proceed...' It was like talking to Blair's spin doctors. It was all getting fucking weird. It was just obvious there was no point in meeting him anyway and I didn't want to. That was the illest I'd ever got. I got so stressed out and so freaked out about it. Initially when it came up I tried to be pragmatic. But Blair has no environmental credentials as far as I'm concerned.
"I came out of that whole period just thinking 'I don't want to get involved directly, it's poison. I'll just shout my mputh off from the sidelines.' It's a nasty business. it's up to people with pure integrity who know what they're talking about. Like Friends Of The Earth."
Thom also revealed that songs set to feature on Radiohead's new album include 'House Of Cards', 'Arpeggi' and 'Nude'. A release date is yet to be confirmed, although there's talk of a download-only EP around the time of the shows.
NEXT WEEK WORLD EXCLUSIVE
"It's like 'OK Computer' - but more terrifying!" Radiohead on their new songs, new direction and plans for the future...
