RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

The Daily Swarm says there's a rumor that Underworld are opening for Radiohead on the US dates. There is no other reporting or links or anything, just that statement.

Thom Yorke is a fan, but surely that could never happen?

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

that would be crazy
i'd see them twice in ATL then
wow.

mother

F_CKER

if that's true... I'll be soooooooooo pissed
b/c I forgot to buy tickets for RH this tour

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Well, that can't be. Radiohead's US tour dates are May 5-18.

http://www.radiohead.com/tourdates/

Underworld is already booked in Europe for half those dates.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

that's probably the most ludicrous thing i've heard this year.
i dont even think thom likes them.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

The Daily Swarm has Underworld playing All Points West

Billboard confirms:

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

ok well i suppose being in the same festival is feasible.

oh shit i gotta go to this.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Haha, are you guys serious? Do you think UW opens for anybody? Somehow, I think playing TMO,KOS,NUXX as an opener just doesn't work. :D

It would be a good opportunity for them to play their ambient, lesser known, and chill tracks (as they've said they wanted to do), but I hope they never do it as an opening act.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Actually according to that site, Radiohead is coming back to the US sometime in July onwards.

But I still don't think UW would fit the bill.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

that's the biggest argument for "untrue."

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Well, OK, so Underworld isn't doing the May tour dates. Yes, Radiohead is coming back to the US, dates not yet announced ("Where venues or dates are missing, details will be announced later"), so I suppose it could be All Points West in August, as well as other dates in Aug/Sep/whatever.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

According to these Radiohead dates posted at Pitchfork, and these Underworld dates posted at Underworldlive.com, it would appear both bands have the month of April open.

No?

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Underworld's going to be in South America in April. Full tour dates not yet announced:

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Pitchfork is also confirming Underworld at the All Points West festival...

August 8-10, Jersey City's Liberty State Park

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

hmm... I think
technically - UW have "opened" for radiohead at least once... or maybe RH opened for them... (I forget who came on first) at the Hurricane Festival a few years back

damn - that was a good line up... in three days I saw Massive Attack, Radiohead, Underworld, and Bjork

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

august 8th
items of interest:

girl talk
CSS
go team
underworld
radiohead

in that order
UW and Radiohead on the same stage so there's no concurrent stage shenanigans. it's one then the other.
so yeah basically it's underworld (2nd to last) opening for RH (main event)
huh.
i mean- holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Huh, indeed. A great finale to be sure, but hardly "UW opening for Radiohead". This thread is how bad rumours get started :rolleyes:

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

OK, so the rumor of UW opening (and hence, "touring") with RH probably evolved out of them playing the festival together.

I don't really consider it "opening" in the same sense if it's a festival.

Anyway, this looks good, another event to consider going to! :D

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

HOLY SHIT, INDEED!!

I'm going to have to get into damn good shape in order to not die from dancing for that long! Amazing!

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

opening setlist:

Thing In A Book
215 Miles
Dobropet

This will be followed by the video for 'Just' that finally reveals what the man says.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

spoiler alert: turns out he says the same thing karl says during the bridge of "crocodile."

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Do share. :p Please.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

what he says in the just vid is the same as the opening lyric in 'good morning cockerel'

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Bjork and Radiohead did 'open' for Underworld at the Werchter Festival June 2003.
I don't think you can open or warm-up for anyone on a festival, just headline one. Most festivals have more then one stage and lots of people don't watch the act before the headliner cos they watch something they think is better at another stage. That's the fun of festivals for me anyway.

Thnx for the info.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

i find both bands music to have absurd amounts of similarities. slight pretentious stream of conscious lyrics, electro beats out the ass, lush and subtley tweaked synths, grand build-ups : D crucify me if you disagree *nudge* : )

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

I suppose that should be a tiny spark of hope for me, seeing that Radiohead is also headlining Roskilde this summer. Please-please-please, Underworld, we need some dirty beats this year! :D

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

and i will be there, for day one's wonderful wonderful melodies.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Takes a lot of work to make that place look that clean. Whoever made that has great photoshop skills.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Line-up per stage:
http://www.apwfestival.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33

though i dont think its right as RH are listed twice.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

RH is playing 2 of the 3 days

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

LOL. :D

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

as soon as i saw that lineup, i started thinking about getting some tickets from milwaukee to ny for the show. after double-checking the date on my calendar, i reazlied that's the same weekend as my upcoming wedding :p

perhaps i'll be able to see radiohead and underworld at some other point in the summer, although it won't be nearly as convienent!

Underworld to play All points West in Jersey with Radiohead (other dates too?)
 

Just found this . Underworld to play All Points West Festival in New Jersey Aug. 8-10. Heres the link http://www.apwfestival.com/

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

I think the All points west lineup might clarify where this rumour is coming from. Underworld and Radiohead to headline. New Jersey Aug 9th http://www.apwfestival.com/

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

Youssou N'Dour on Sunday. Damn, this is gonna break bank crazy.

Gonna have to start saving my allowance immediately.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

It helps if you read the thread you're postsing in.

Re: RUMOR: Underworld Opening for Radiohead on US Dates
 

I just got my Bristow ticket for Radiohead. If underworld were to open for RH i'd go overboard to get a ticket for that particular date...alone or not, doesn't really matter. Just imagine UW and RH playing the same night, same place, same stage! If i say that i got a little wet...that's ok, right? is it?

shit....and the jersey city date...that is too close to home. one more holiday marked on the calendar :D
