Radiohead to play four shows in Japan in April 2004

W.A.S.T.E., the band's mail-order and fan club, has emailed its members to confirm four Radiohead shows in Japan next April: two nights at Intex Osaka, then two at Makuhari Messe, the convention centre in Chiba just east of Tokyo. They are the band's first dates of 2004.

Tickets are 7,500 yen for every show, and the promoter is Creativeman. W.A.S.T.E. will have its own allocation for fans, on sale from its ticket shop on or around 20 December, the same day as the general sale.

Radiohead were last in Japan in August, playing Summer Sonic in Osaka and then Chiba Marine Stadium on consecutive nights, so April takes them back after eight months.
