Underworld is already booked in Europe for half those 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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