Radiohead Announce Dates for US Tour in 2012

Radiohead is giving fans reason to celebrate this week with their announcement of an official 2012 U.S tour!

Making their first stop on February 27th at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, this highly exclusive and ultra-amazing band will rock what may be some of the most anticipated concerts of the year. Led by the great Thom Yorke, the band will set sail in support of their eighth album, "The King of Limbs."

Whether they’re making music or touring, Radiohead definitely knows how to heighten our excitement, allowing for a lengthy period of absence between creative projects. The band’s last full-scale statewide tour closed in August of 2008, leaving a heavy four-year hiatus, which added more than enough fuel to their fans’ gusto.

Selling more than 200,000 copies since its February release, “The King of Limbs” adds to their already extensive repertoire of breakthrough music. The tour will feature indie-rockers, Other Lives, who’ve already made a mark touring with Bon Iver. Their haunting and ethereal sound is sure to compliment the unconventionally innovative feel Radiohead will bring to this tour.

With a limited amount of cities listed on their site as of today, it’s still too early to regard their tour dates as concrete, especially considering major cities like Los Angeles and New York have yet to make the bill. General tickets for the shows will go on sale this Saturday, while SUPERGOODMUSIC waits for Radiohead to announce more dates SOON.

So far, here are some set dates:


» February 27 - Miami, FL @ American Airlines Arena


» February 29 - Tampa, FL @ The St. Pete Times Forum

Coachella Countdown Starts Now...

If you checked out our blast, you'd know how excited we are for this year's Coachella. We gave you a handsome serving of our thoughts on some of the artists playing in this week's CONCERT BLAST, but we're feeding you even more here...

Deadmau5 is definitely one artist that we think you should check out on Friday. Not only do we love the dude's funky fresh Mickey Mouse-ish logo, but the guys beats are spectacular. His 2008 Coachella performance was off the chain and there is no reason to suspect that Joel Thomas Zimmerman (the man behind the Mouse mask) won't bring it again.

The recent winner of several International Dance Music Awards and resident of Toronto is known for his progressive electro house music, as well as work other artists in the scene such as Kaskade. If you have not seen him before, it is nothing but danceable fun...and what else are you looking for at Coachella?

From his original tracks like "All U Ever Want", "Strobe" and "Ghosts N Stuff" to mash-ups featuring his music like "Hi Fatmau5" to DJs just blending his stuff at the club - you've probably already heard and enjoyed Deadmau5 even if you didn't know it. If you're gonna be at Coachella - make the conscious decision to see him. I promise you won't regret it.
