    Massive let down , can't get my head round it. Really disappointed in their decision. If they have any decency they should donate all their profits to a good Palestinian cause. I won't hold my breath

    The greatest of all time, that glastonbury performance was out of this world - truly amazing and now absolutely buzzing to see them in a week and a bit

    The emotion that they manage to get across in songs like pyramid song and exit music is unbelievable, I can completely understand the comments from non RH fans as they're not exactly crowd pleasers for the non fans, however as a massive fan that was as close to perfect as possible - set list was top notch and thought Thom was terrific nailing 20 year old songs as if they were recorded yesterday and Johnny greenwood is the ultimate musician, he plays about 5 different instruments in the band.

    Many bands and artists are a trend in society but i think radiohead will be looked back in 50 years as one of the true greats rightly in the same league as the beatles and pink floyd etc.

    The fact they have songs varying from idioteque to daydreaming in the same set shows their diversity and thats the reason in my opinion they will be looked back on very fondly. Pioneers

    Yes Radiohead are up there with those 3 you mentioned and indeed the Stones and Zep.One thing Zep and Radiohead have in common,they simply do not give a * what the media think of them or all the people looking for the latest trend.

    Didn't know that. Such a left field band as well. And one band I would put up there for political awareness. Very disappointing.

    They're being followed up by the most vanilla of rock acts tonight followed by the most vanilla of pop acts on Sunday. Even The Bends, their most straightforward record, is miles ahead of anything Foo Fighters or Ed Sheeran has produced.

    Was delighted with the set last night. Not a King Of Limbs fan so I'd drop Bloom and Daydreaming doesn't work as an opener, but other than that has anyone ever done a better encore than that in history? No Surprises, Fake Plastic Trees, Creep, Karma Police. Also 7 songs from OK Computer was a surprise but one I definitely hope they keep for TRNSMT. Especially the trifecta of Exit Music>Let Down>Karma Police. The greatest three track run on any album.

    Aye it's disappointing, they've dug their heels in over finding the pressure 'patronising'.

    Johnny Greenwood is married to an Arab Jew so maybe they feel pretty well placed to make a decision.

    There are more important issues than their sensibilities.. so aye call the Karma Police.

    Also disappointed with their decision regarding israel, however as mentioned johnny greenwood is married to an israeli and israel was the country that propelled them to success with creep, so i suppose they do have their reasoning. Also feel in a way that many acts have played israel before however radiohead seem to be getting far more abuse i suppose due to the fact they are quite a political band.

    They hate creep but:fear:
    Agree a lot of bands skate under the radar while other get absolutely slated for it like Rod Stewart don't think there's much of a kick up about him playing there but the Rolling Stones took a lot of flak for it. Agree with the boycott on a whole but

    To my knowledge Rod Stewart hasn't played Israel.

    I was referring to his gigs in southern africa to white only audiences. Total scumbag. Quo and Queen too. Sun city
