According to Radiohead fansite AtEaseWeb.com, the band will be headed back in the studio this winter on January of 2010. After a brief stint here in Los Angeles for shows at the EchoPlex and the Orpheum Theatre, Thom Yorke and the rest of Radiohead will begin work on the follow up to 2008's In Rainbows.
While Thom Yorke is doing his part in trying to save the Earth from climate change at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, no word has come yet of an official return to Southern California by the Radiohead vocalist at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival that has been rumored about on various music websites. The only Radiohead confirmation of future plans we have for now is a posting by Ed O'Brien on Radiohead's Dear Air Space:
The "Battle For Britain" is finally over! Los Angeles' Rage Against The Machine now stands victorious with the title of UK Christmas Number One winner over their opponent, The X Factor's Joe McElderry according to NME.com. "Killing In The Name Of" beat out Joe McElderry's rendition of Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" with a final push to the top of the chart Sunday night by over 50,000 tracks sold, all digitally. Rage Against The Machine had promised to play a free show if they won UK Christmas Number One and will come through with their promise next year with the venue still not chosen at this time. Part of Rage Against The Machine's proceeds will benefit homeless charity Shelter with sales along with fans individually raising over £64,000 for the charity.
The campaign was started on Facebook by Jon Morter on December 13th to end the dominance of reality TV show The X-Factor's finalists winning UK Christmas Number One.
