Would it really be too much to ask for Radiohead to play a UK festival?

Fantastic - I can't wait! Really looking forward to seeing Radiohead for the first time. Also, as I have my Leeds ticket (thanks to NME's extra allocation) I'll be getting to see Rage twice this year. I'm still wondering if, when the line up gets officially released on Monday, Hannah Montana will be on the bill, or if that was an elaborate April Fool's joke.

Why do people make social comments like, We will only be doing festivals that are easy to get to as they are greener, is Lollapalooza greener, not for me its not, imagine the air miles I would have to clock up to go to that one. I love you Radiohead but please no more of your crap.

I saw the lineup this morning and screamed so loud I woke up my boyfriend and terrified him. This will be the best Lollapalooza I've seen, at least. And we Americans even get to see half of this year's NME Awards Tour in the form of Does It Offend You, Yeah? and the Ting Tings. Finally.
