News // Thom Yorke confirms "Radiohead will tour in 2012"

Last night, Thom Yorke co-hosted with Giles Peterson on BBC Radio 1, where he shared some Radiohead songs but also from Flying Lotus and Modeselektor, projects that Yorke have worked with and a remix of Radiohead's "Bloom" by Jamie XX from The XX, has revealed his plans for the next year.

"The idea is to go out and play next year on and off during the year" said Yorke, adding that Clive Deamer from Portishead might join the band on tour as auxiliar musician.
Deamer recently joined the band, when the recorded an episode of Live From The Basement for BBC.

This tour announcement was a bit surprising, since Radiohead seem to be avoiding live performances since the release of their last album "The King Of Limbs", early this year.
Radiohead played a surprise set at the Glastonbury Festival in June and will play two gigs in New York City next week, while they appear on Saturday Night Live and Colbert Report.

On the same show, Thom Yorke also mentioned his other project Atoms For Peace, created with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist and producer Nigel Godrich, is very close to finish an album.
