Radiohead Fans Invade the Upper West Side

I love Radiohead AND I love to lie face down on NY city streets! Photo - Jen Chung

Last night, the Radiohead fans were out in full force, as MTV2 had announced that on Saturday morning (right now), $2 tickets would go on sale for MTV2's $2Bill concert with Radiohead at the Beacon Theater. The show will be on June 5, MTV2 airdate of June 17.

Scads of people were waiting around the Beacon Theater on Broadway between West 74th and 75th Streets, making themselves very comfortable for a long night. Probably by the time you read this, these dedicated fans will have gotten the tickets and be sleeping on their way back home.

In Grand Rapids this last week and the official quote from more than three bar assistants was "nothing happens here". My colleague and I were convinced that Radiohead were about to play a "secret" gig at the [insert Grand Rapids Michigan, covention center | pub | carpark | tuck shop ... something].

Oh dear. We were most mistaken.
