Radiohead have listed 14 European stops for June and July 2008 on the tour page of radiohead.com, most of them still without a venue or a day. They are the band's first shows of 2008, the touring for In Rainbows, out so far only as the band's download.

The first two went up on 27 November, when the German festivals Southside and Hurricane listed them on their website. Southside falls on Friday 20 June and Hurricane on Sunday 22 June. Those are the very dates on which Radiohead played Southside and Hurricane in 2003, on the Hail to the Thief tour. Tickets for both are already on sale.

The one city show with a full date and venue is a headline night at the Arena Civica in Milan on Wednesday 18 June. W.A.S.T.E., the band's mail-order and ticket service, began selling it at 1pm on 29 November.

Roskilde joined the list on 29 November. The band's day there is still to be set. Uncut and The Hollywood Reporter put the Barcelona night at the Daydream festival.

Britain gets four shows in June, with venues and dates to follow. An American tour is widely expected. The band are rumoured to be in the running to headline Glastonbury, which they headlined in 1997 and 2003.
