His 2020 shows with Nigel Godrich and Tarik Barri now run from a Virginia arena at the end of March, through Mexico and Britain, to Berlin in mid-July.

The Tomorrow's Modern Boxes shows the pandemic stopped in March now run from late September to mid-October, with most of the old tickets still good.
He once thought some of the songs on Earth might be Radiohead songs for A Moon Shaped Pool, until a day in the studio with the band changed his mind.
Radiohead's return to the stage has no date, and O'Brien is not guessing at one.
O'Brien has kept his release date through the lockdowns, so songs set off by a year in a Brazilian village reach people stuck at home.
With the pandemic, he says, the band could not make a new album now even if they wanted to.
Anyone with a Sonos speaker can now hear, all day, whatever Yorke has lately been obsessed with.
It is the first new song from Yorke since ANIMA, the album and Paul Thomas Anderson film he put out last June.
This week's lockdown concert is a headline set in a Tennessee field in June 2006, from the tour the band took out before In Rainbows.

Anyone with a streaming account can now go through the songs Yorke picked for his radio station, track by track.
Another Radiohead album will follow A Moon Shaped Pool, O'Brien is sure, though when it will come he has no idea.
The puzzle comes with an advert that cheerfully admits it may not cure anyone's boredom.
After 12 Thursdays of old shows, from the Astoria in 1994 to São Paulo in 2018, the band close the series with a festival set from the first summer of OK Computer.

It is the second time the American shows have moved this year, and this time there are no new dates to move them to.

The two have now remixed each other, and Yorke's version closes the expanded edition of Clark's film score.
The four other members of Radiohead were among the guests at a wedding held under the pandemic's rules.
