Radiohead will play South American festival shows in April 2018.
The festival outings begin on April 11th at the SUE event in Santiago, Chile, and from there they play the Soundhearts series in Argentina, Peru, Brazil and Colombia.
Radiohead’s festival commitments this year helped to mark the 20th anniversary of their OK Computer album, which got a reissue dubbed OKNOTOK. “But why?” a press release said of it. “The original analogue tapes are the highest definition version of the record, and nothing will ever beat them.”
“However in the 20 years since the original release mastering technology has improved a lot, and with new equipment and techniques we can make a digital version that’s an improvement of the original transfer.”
