Radiohead to Webcast Show on New Year's Eve

Tech-savvy group celebrates 'new' CD

Share

(Newser) – Radiohead will celebrate the CD release of its buzz-generating new album In Rainbows by streaming a pre-recorded concert on its website at midnight on New Year’s Eve. The band broke new ground by first releasing the album online under a pay-what-you-want formula. The New Year's Eve show will include "songs and other bits,” as described by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Guardian reports.

The performance, "a wee celebration of the release of the physical manifestation" of the album, will be shown on radiohead.tv, current.com, and on the satellite and cable channel Current TV, which is available in the US and UK.
