Radiohead have confirmed rumours of an ‘intimate-setting’ North American tour, announcing a string of dates across the United States and Canada.

The Oxford quintet will play two theatre shows in each city they visit, kicking off at Philadelphia’s Tower Theatre on June 1–2. The band stated: “set lists for the shows will draw heavily on the newer material the band has been working on over the past months. 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.”

Meanwhile, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have returned to the stage in London, a week ahead of the beginning of the European leg of the Radiohead tour. In a one-off show in aid of Friends Of The Earth, the duo performed a 13-track semi-acoustic set, which included three tracks from the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album. Two of the tracks are named – ‘Arpeggi’ and ‘Bodysnatchers’ – whilst the other remains untitled.

It has been confirmed by the band that their follow-up to ‘Hail To The Thief’ will not be released until 2007.
