Radiohead could be ready to visit UK arenas next year as part of their expanded touring schedule for the 2011 album ‘The King Of Limbs‘, with the band’s guitarist Ed O’Brien declaring the idea of larger indoor venues now feels ‘appropriate’.
“You have to do what feels right instinctively and arenas feel appropriate this time for some bizarre reason, I don’t know why,” O’Brien told BBC 6Music.
However, it would appear any UK festival appearances for the summer of 2012 are out of the question, with O’Brien adding that the sound of ‘The King Of Limbs’ doesn’t lend itself to outdoor performance.
“We are excited about being indoors, not being at the mercy of the weather, British summer time,” he continued. “We haven’t played indoors for a while and I think ‘The King Of Limbs’ lends itself to a really good sound because it’s quite precise and quite detailed. So outdoor festivals probably aren’t the ideal venue for that.”
Radiohead have previously announced a US tour for early next year, due to kick off in February.
