Radiohead to Play Haiti Benefit

with 4 comments

radioheadIf it’s possible for band to be sainted, Radiohead is trying hard.

The band (Namely Phil) announced they’re playing a Haiti benefit show Sunday, January 24, at 7 pm at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. Tickets are being auctioned on Ticketmaster in order to raise as much money as possible — which means you’ll be spending a lot. However, all proceeds are going to the Oxfam Haiti relief fund, and since the band is currently in the midst of recording their next album, it also means you could be treated to some new, un-rehearsed material. Radiohead on the raw is a rare thing indeed.

The ticket auction started today (January 21) at 8 pm PST, and will run until Saturday January 23 at 11 pm. Visit Radiohead’s site for details.

Oh yeah, and you'll want to download my book.

  2. They should play for haiti… That’s worth more than the money they are raising

  3. I meant AT haiti, like in the country

  4. Good point, FAN… though they’d probably somehow get all their equipment stolen in the process. Or they’d just give it all away as part of the benefit…
