Radiohead / October 2012 English Tour

Radiohead have announced a couple dates for October. Seeing that we’ve only been given 3 dates, either there are going to be more dates after these (they don’t go over to Amsterdam until 14th October and there is a gap until then) or people will be selling off their limbs (pun intended) for these tickets.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (not sure what time; their official Web site is entirely unhelpful).

Saturday 6th October 2012 – Manchester Arena
Sunday 7th October 2012 – London O2 Arena
Monday 8th October 2012 – London O2 Arena
