Radiohead’s Yorke to Perform Solo at Latitude Festival

[Radiohead Brasil]

Thom Yorke has agreed to stage a rare solo performance at this year’s Latitude Festival in Suffolk, England. The performance will take place at noon on Sunday, July 19, which is the festival's final day.Speaking to London’s BBC, festival organizer Melvin Benn said he knew it was a long shot when he put in the bid for Yorke, who will do the show during a special time slot during which no other artists are on-stage anywhere on the festival grounds.“I very much just as a wild card thought well... wouldn't it be nice to offer it to Thom Yorke,” Benn said. “Without knowing that he wanted to perform on his own, obviously he's got Radiohead performances at the end of the summer with us at Reading & Leeds. We just fancied making the offer... he came back very, very quickly and said 'Yes'.”Yorke released his debut solo album, Eraser, in 2006. He’s since done the occasional acoustic show without Radiohead. Benn told the BBC that other musicians may or may not accompany Yorke during his performance.“He's asked whether he can have other musicians perform with him, of course we have said, ‘Yes’,” Benn said. “We have no idea who those musicians will be, if indeed they are there at all.”http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/News/radioheads-yorke-609/
