Speaking at a press confernce Noel accidentally said; "We were going to play 3 nights all along, but only announced 2 to make it seem more impressive when we added a third. It's not magic you know, we had to plan this all yonks ago."

Not bad at all for a supposedly irrelevant band. These gigs really are going to be mega. Would Pink sell these out? Would Crystal Castles? Would TV On The Radio? Don't think so. You can take your charts and you can take your relevance and shove it. Not even Radiohead could sell out Old Trafford Cricket ground until the week before the gig. Amateurs!

Probably is the biggest uk tour of all time. bored waiting for tickets so managed to work out that ticket sales will make Â£31,000,000, and that was before the extra dates!

In an attempt to defend Radiohead it should be noted that it was Glastonbury weekend for Manchester and Glasgow.Can't wait for Cardiff, gonna be immense!! :) (And no I don't have to take sides on the Oasis/Radiohead feud)

Great band! Nowhere near the biggest UK tour of all time (yet). Queen (with Freddie) played two Wembley stadiums followed by Knebworth, total 300,000+ tickets excluding all the other UK stadium shows on the tour.
