The performances will take place in smaller than usual venues, and will feature appropriately scaled down staging and lighting design, creating a suitably intimate environment for the first ever airings of several new songs.

The theatre / amphitheatre run begins with a two-night run June 1 in Philadelphia. In fact, all of the band’s tour stops are two-nighters with the exception of the June 17 set at Bonnaroo.

Set lists for the shows will draw heavily on the newer material the band has been working on over the past months.

The U.S. dates will be preceded by a similar tour of Europe and the U.K., followed by a string of U.K. / Europe festival dates, including the already sold out V festival Aug. 19 & 20, with others TBA.

There are no plans for a Radiohead album release any time in 2006.
