Jonny Greenwood says Radiohead have played only about half their new songs

Jonny Greenwood tells NME that Radiohead will try out more new songs when their North American theatre dates, two nights a city, begin at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby on 1 June. We've done about half of the new songs, so there's lots more to come.¹

NME travelled with the band on their British dates in May for a feature in this week's issue, on sale today. The run took in Blackpool, Wolverhampton and two nights at the Hammersmith Apollo, and was Radiohead's first tour at home since the end of 2003. There were six unreleased songs in the set on the opening night in Blackpool and nine on the last in London. NME counts ten new songs across the six shows and expects them on a record in 2007.

Greenwood says the band still feel as if they are warming up and remembering how to play. Playing live again is something I've been thinking about for a year and three quarters. I love it.¹
