Radiohead Rumor

[punkfokinrock]

I heard the news that Radiohead is coming to DC this summer.  But I also heard a rumor that they were going to be playing at Nissan Pavilion (gag).  Can anyone confirm this?  I really don't want to have to sit in traffic at Nissan.

Probably a bunk rumor given that Nissan isn't very public transportation-accessible.

Check the last few pages of the Just Announced thread and the Holy Crap Radiohead has a new Album thread.  There's plenty of specualtion in those threads.

So far, odds are on Verizon in May.

I'd rather hop a plane to anywhere than trek to Nissan to see Radiohead.  The last time I went there it took 3 hours (2 of which were the last mile).  PLEASE tell me they're playing Merriweather, or any where else in D.C.  Not Nissan, please!

I sat in traffic to get into Nissan and to get out of Nissan.  Ugh.

As much as I hate to say it, an arena is a good move for them. Battling for tickets at a small theatre is a difficult chore. Although I was in the front row at their Philly show last year    Thank you W.A.S.T.E!

Radiohead at the Virgin Festival would be perfect.  But if we can't have that, let it be Merriweather.  Anything but Nissan.  John and George would have to come back from the dead and reunite the Beatles for me to go back to Nissan.

no it wouldn't.
 
 i had no problems getting good tickets for any of the radiohead shows i've tried to get tickets for from the three tours... and i've gotten tickets for a minimum of three shows in 01/03/06.

How about a 7-year annivesary of Bull Run? Ah, those were the days!

[K8teebug]

Was that really SEVEN years ago?  I will never forget entering that place to see how perfect a show we were about to witness before the waterfall started...
 
 that was a bad day.

[Chulahoma]

what about RFK?

Terrible place to see a baseball game, even worse for a concert.

There should definitely be some sort of Bull Run veterans association.  I'll never forget Thatguy coming out to announce that the show had been canceled and stripped off his shirt to look badass and keep people from having any kind of riot.  Of course, that didn't stop some joker from slip and sliding right past him a few seconds later (at least I think that's what happened, it has been 7 years).

must have been nice to have gotten in.
 i was stuck in traffic.  it took us about 4 hours to get there when it normally would have taken less than 1.5.
