Colin Greenwood says he and his brother Jonny are not allowed on Radiohead's setlist committee, because they are too indecisive. He was the guest on episode 256 of The Adam Buxton Podcast, out today, two days after the band announced 20 dates in Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen and Berlin for November and December. The two recorded it face to face in London on 25 April, months before the tour was announced.

Asked what the band will play, Colin told Buxton it would be a mixed set, with the candidates whittled down to about 70 songs. So we'll play anything in any order, at any time. We sort of take a busking attitude to the Radiohead setlist.1

They will be Radiohead's first concerts since 1 August 2018, the last night of the A Moon Shaped Pool tour, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Colin thinks they will also be the first the band have played without new material to try out as work in progress, though something might come up.
