Breaking news: In addition to headlining Coachella this year, Radiohead has decided to swing back through the Bay Area for the second year in a row, i between their Coachella weekends, performing two back-to-back nights at Berkeley's Greek Theatre. Tom, Jonny, and the boys will be here April 17 and 18, as Rolling Stone first reported, and tickets go on sale this Friday, January 20, i.e. Inauguration Day, at 10 a.m.

The Berkeley dates are part of a mini US tour announced Tuesday which also includes early April dates in Atlanta, New Orleans, Portland, and Seattle — but the band clearly has some affection for the Berkeley Greek since it's the only stop with two nights booked, likely because they've selected a smaller venue than they usually book.

Radiohead previously performed at the Greek Theatre on their 2006 Hail to the Thief tour — and I can attest it was a pretty magical and memorable show, with fog rolling into the venue off the Bay, no fog machines required.

The band's ninth studio album, A Moon Shaped Pool, was released in May 2016, and they performed segments of it during their most recent Bay Area appearance at Outside Lands in August. The album was ensconcned on many of the year's best-of lists, landing at #10 on Pitchfork's ranking of albums of the year, and #6 on Rolling Stone's.

Following Thursday's BIG NEWS that everyone's favorite genre-blending geniuses Radiohead have a new album set for release and the band is heading out on tour this spring and summer, we get a fresh rumor that they will be headlining Outside Lands this year, among other festivals.

The report comes from unidentified "sources" speaking to the site Consequence of Sound which says that as part of Radiohead's jaunt to North America, set to begin in July, they will hit the 25th annual Lollapalooza in Chicago, Montreal's Osheaga Music Festival, and our very own moody and foggy fest in Golden Gate Park, which this year is scheduled for August 5th to the 7th.

This would fit well in the band's schedule, after they've already confirmed festival dates in Europe, including Primavera Sound in Barcelona in June, and Nos Alive in Lisbon. Following Outside Lands they would likely make one or two more stops in the US (L.A.?) before a confirmed appearance at the Summersonic Festival in Tokyo on or around August 20.

Radiohead last played Outside Lands on the first night of the festival's very first outing back in 2008. They swung back through the Bay Area to do a pre-Coachella show in San Jose in 2012.

For their part, Outside Lands organizers Another Planet declined to confirm anything, saying, "We would be thrilled to have Radiohead headline Outside Lands, but we do not announce our lineup for a couple of months." Look for the official announcement to come around early June, but let this just serve as encouragement for Radiohead fans to consider those cheaper early-bird passes, when they go on sale.

As SFGate notes, this is the first rumor we have of any act on this year's OL lineup, which is likely still in the negotiations phase.

Next month, Peaches Christ Productions brings the second installment of the San Francisco Album Project to The Chapel on Valencia Street: a gender-bending theatrical production of Radiohead's landmark 1997 album OK Computer lip-synched in its entirety.

After successfully tackling Yaz's 1982 New Wave classic Upstairs at Eric's last month, Peaches & Co. return on July 14th to take on the dark, paranoid and decidedly anti-yuppie album that marked a stark turning point in Radiohead's career. If you spent the late-90s in your parent's basement spouting Ethan Hawk-isms and lamenting The Gap, rather than hoarding Sex & The City DVDs, then you may have finally found a drag night to match your interests.

The performers for OK Computer come from a range of local productions like Trannyshack, counterPULSE and Daytime Realness including: Trixxie Carr, Precious Moments, Stanley Frank Sensation, Nikki Sixx Mile, Raya Light, Kim Burly, Jordan L’Moore, Fruitbomb, ElijahMinnelli, and U-Phoria. Expect things to get really dark around track nine:

All the performances of Upstairs at Eric's have been helpfully archived for your enjoyment right here.

Tickets for the July 14th performance at The Chapel are currently on sale for $15.

All your Radiohead-fan friends hoofed it to San Jose last night to see Radiohead, and we hear it was a good set, heavy on material from last year's King of Limbs but with plenty of older favorites thrown in. Also, Thom Yorke has a ponytail now, and a certain critic over at NBC seems to believe that Joshua Tree was a Radiohead album.

Yorke was "po-going through '15 Step,' ponytail (!) flapping back and forth from his Joshua-Tree-era vest to his familiar stubble..." according to NBC Bay Area scribe Scott Budman, and so it would appear that Budman has confused Yorke with Bono, or something.

Reportedly, Yorke introduced "The Amazing Sounds of Orgy" (from the Amnesiac era) by saying to the sold-out San Jose Arena crowd, "This is a song about when banks started investing in bullshit. Silicon Valley bullllshit." Everyone cheered.

Meanwhile, Jim Harrington of the Oakland Tribune says the band "came up a bit short" with last night's show. But we think he's just being a snarky bitch for the sake of it, since he calls their 2008 Outside Lands set "majestic" and all we can remember about it was that the sound cut out four or five times.

The Guardian's Charles Russo, a devoted fan, says it was "a high-energy performance from an eclectic setlist that was at once a gem for fanatics and a thrill for the casual fans that they dragged along."

And Ian S. Port at the Weekly says it was "a pretty great concert even as far as Radiohead shows go" and writes, "After the general loathing of the OK Computer era, and the isolated gloom of Kid A and Amnesiac, Yorke (and the band) seem to have found their footing in The Beat."

Lace up those Converse and get ready to scratch those chins, Radiohead fans. They're coming to San Francisco!

When? No clue. Where? We can only assume the Empire Plush Room, of course. But the fine folks over at SF Weekly's All Shook Down just got word that everyone's favorite band to claim that they love will be making a San Francisco pitstop during the leg of their North American tour. Eee! While this Oxfordshire outfit is no Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Vertigo-esque mashup, Radiohead is the next best thing. Or so we're told.

For a list of all the US cities in which Radiohead will appear, do not fear the jump.

Friday - after the hangover finally lifts and you realize that you already effed up your New Year's resolutions - join us at The Independent where we will be hanging out, bluegrass style, with Dan Tyminski (who usually plays with Alison Krauss) and local talent, Hot Buttered Rum (featured above). We just love us some bluegrass music (occasionally, that is). Hot Buttered Rum is often described as a rock band but with bluegrass instrumentation: fiddle, banjo, mandolin, up-right bass and acoustic guitar. Love it. You've heard Dan Tyminski's voice on the popular movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" He sang the Grammy-winning (and ever so popular) song, "Man of Constant Sorrow" that featured the Soggy Bottom Boys. It will be some good ole' fashion fun.
