Radiohead to tape Austin City Limits for the first time

Radiohead are among the first acts booked to tape the 38th season of Austin City Limits, the PBS music programme made in Austin. The show named them on 14 December alongside The Shins, The Civil Wars, and Rodrigo y Gabriela with C.U.B.A. It is the band's first booking on the programme.

Glide says the programme has moved into ACL Live at The Moody Theater, a bigger room with up-to-date equipment, where it expects the Radiohead taping to be, and that musicians value the programme because it lets each act play more than the one song a late-night television spot allows.

Radiohead have not played Austin since South Park Meadows in September 1995, and are already due at the Frank Erwin Center on 7 March, one of the ten American arena dates announced in November.
