Radiohead are to play a free concert for BBC Radio 2 this April.

The gig, to be held at the BBC's Radio Theatre, situated in central London's Broadcasting House, is open to fans who can apply for, or win, tickets.

Fans can call 08700 100 200 to apply for tickets to the intimate gig - passes will also be given away on Radio 2 shows.

The gig takes place on April 1, and will be the band's first live appearance since their tiny show at London's 93 Feet East venue in January.

worst idea ever, making the other artists who're trying to make a living look immoral and greedy.

Meddick, if that's a sarcastic comment, it's not funny at all and I wouldn't have bothered. And if it isn't sarcastic, you're a fucking idiot.

Free gig sounds good, but Meddick, I got to disagree dude. Radiohead are a well-established, multi-million selling act so it's understandable why they can do this and get away with it. However, this doesn't mean everyone is now going to demand free gigs from bands, that'd be ridiculous. It's business as usual.

I think this is a good idea other bands could start to do free shows for the fans.

Meddick, if they were charging, you would be complaining about how they are super-rich, dont need the money and are greedy
