Radiohead will cancel seven European shows in response to
last weekend’s tragic stage collapse in Toronto. Their official statement, via
Dead Air Space:
Hello everyone,
As you will probably have heard the roof over the stage collapsed at
our show in Toronto killing crew member Scott Johnson and injuring three
other crew members. The collapse also destroyed the light show – this
show was unique and will take many weeks to replace. The collapse also
caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are
decades old and therefore hard to replace.
Whilst we all are dealing with the grief and shock ensuing from this
terrible accident there are also many practical considerations to deal
with & consequently we have to try and reschedule the following
shows:
June
30 Roma Hippodrome Capanelle
July
1 Firenze Parco delle Cascine
3 Bologna Arena Parco Nord
4 Codroipo Villa Manin
6 Berlin Wuhlheide
7 Berlin Wuhlheide
9 St Triphon Carriere des Andonces
We aim to announce the new dates for these shows on Wednesday 27th of
June and will also supply information on how to obtain refunds on
tickets if you cannot come to the show on the new date.
We will start playing live again at Les Arenes Nimes, Bilbao BBK festival and Lisbon Optimus Alive festival.
We will make every effort to offer the fans the very best show
possible under the circumstances – thanks for your understanding and
support.
We’ll keep you posted next week when those shows are rescheduled.
