He went on to say the release of Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes didn’t go as planned but concluded that’s “what happens with experiments”.

Yorke confirmed Radiohead will play more shows in 2017, after a break following their final show this year at Austin City Limits festival in Texas in October.

Radiohead have only a few dates left on their calendar, with the only US shows being September 30 and October 7 at the Austin City Limits Festival, and the others are in Berlin this Sunday and Mexico City in the days between the Austin concerts.

He also told Benji B that once Radiohead touring winds down, and Flea is less busy bass-slapping his way around the world with Red Hot Chili Peppers, he’d like to get back together with his other project Atoms For Peace.
