Radiohead announce North American dates

Legendary art-rock group Radiohead have announced their first batch of North American tour dates in a number of years. The band will play two-night stands in cities all over the U.S. and Canada starting June 1-2 in Philadelphia. The tour will wrap up at the end of the month in Los Angeles.

"Set lists for the shows will draw heavily on the newer material the band has been working on over the past months," says the band's publicist. "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... [However], there are no plans for a Radiohead album release any time in 2006."
