Radiohead fans fill a Copenhagen karaoke bar after the show is postponed

Radiohead postponed their first two Royal Arena shows in Copenhagen on Monday 1 December, the day of the first, because Thom Yorke has a throat infection that leaves him unable to sing. The nights move to 15 and 16 December.

During the day a fan suggested on Reddit that the disappointed turn it into Radiohead karaoke, and reserved a bar in the city centre. The room was listed for 25. Cory McLeod, who organised it, told NME the place was packed all night and called it the best alternative for everyone who had travelled so far. We made a Radiohead party in a karaoke bar in Copenhagen and around 1000 people turned up¹

Fans gathered in other bars and pubs across the city too, and videos from the night show crowds singing “Let Down” and “Karma Police”. One fan commenting online called it great emotional support in a really difficult situation.
