Because America is not home to a royal
family, the Queen’s anniversary of
her 1952 coronation, Radiohead are
bringing the celebrations over the Atlantic and playing a show for US fans.
Although the band is currently touring around the States, NME magazine reported that they don’t want to miss out on the
celebrations back home.
It is unknown
whether Radiohead will play a show
at the party, but Steve Lamacq of BBC6 says the band's head of security
Colin has 'packed numerous Union Jack and Jubilee tableware' for ' a Jubilee
party in Washington DC at the weekend'.
Despite being
the US, this report gives UK fans hope that the quintet has not forgotten about
us Brits. The band will return to the UK for a tour in October, for Caribou has just been named support for.
And Radiohead aren’t
the only ones to celebrate Elizabeth II’s
60th year on the throne. Take
That’s frontman Gary Barlow will
host the official Queen’s Jubilee Concert
featuring Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Madness,
Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran and Jessie
J. The concert will take place on the 4th of June in front of
Buckingham Palace, for the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the rest of the royal
family.
Radiohead will appear at the Bilbao BBK Live festival http://www.bilbaobbklive.com/2012/
