Radiohead have given Amnesty International USA two places on their guest list for the Hollywood Bowl to auction. Bidding opens at 7pm Eastern time tonight and closes on 17 September.
The band have also personalised and signed a skateboard deck for Amnesty's second annual Music for Human Rights Skateboard Deck Auction, which opens on eBay on 16 September. The skate brand Zoo York made the decks and each act decorated one.
The winner and a guest go on the list for 26 September, the second of the band's two nights at the Bowl, and sit in the seats Radiohead hold for their own guests. No tickets are sent; the pair show photo ID at the gate. The prize takes in the after-show, though Amnesty stress it is not a meet and greet and none of the band are promised to turn up.
