Radiohead have announced details of world tour dates, including European gigs and three shows at The Roundhouse in London. Full dates and ticket details are below. 

The band, who have been in the studio working on the follow-up to The King Of Limbs having unveiled alternative Bond theme song 'Spectre' over Christmas, had already announced a string of festival appearances. 

Now, they'll be playing headline shows of their own. Full dates are below, with tickets on sale from 9am on Friday 18 March and available here

Radiohead will play:
MAY 20 AMSTERDAM, HEINEKEN MUSIC HALL
MAY 21 AMSTERDAM, HEINEKEN MUSIC HALL

Meanwhile, the band are also set to appear at the following festivals:

AUGUST 20 SUMMERSONIC FESTIVAL, OSAKA, JAPAN
AUGUST 21 SUMMERSONIC FESTIVAL, TOKYO, JAPAN

It looks like album No.9 could drop any day now, especially after the band formed their own company Dawn Chorus LLP - just as they did prior to the release of In Rainbows and The King Of Limbs. We also got our first taste of new material when the band unveiled their alternative James Bond theme song 'Spectre' (much to Sam Smith's dismay). 

Now, fans are wondering if new artwork that's appeared on Radiohead's official W.A.S.T.E artwork is to be involved in the new album. The site is regularly updated with art by their collaborator Stanley Donwood, and it does look very much like his style and in keeping with Radiohead's sleeve work:

Back in October, the band revealed that they were adding the finishing touches to the record - having been working with collaborator Robert Ziegler on orchestration and arrangements
