Radiohead announce only Swiss show of 2012

Montreux Jazz and Caprices Festival join forces for show

Chris Eustace - 24 January 2012

Radiohead will play their only Swiss show of the summer at the Quarry Of Andonces in St-Triphon on 9 July, as part of their world tour, with Caribou in support.

The Montreux Jazz and Caprices Festivals have joined forces to present the band, and it’ll be the first time that the Quarry, which boasts a 500m-long black marble facade, has hosted a concert.

The venue holds 20,000 people, and tickets will go on sale next Tuesday (31 January) at 9am.

Standing tickets will be priced at 109CHF, with seated tickets available at 250CHF.

Bus services will be laid on from all major Swiss cities for the show, costing between 25-39CHF return.

Montreux and Caprices badges and tickets will not be valid for entry.

Though Radiohead showcased songs from current album ‘The King Of Limbs’ at their ‘secret show’ at Glastonbury 2011, the tour will be the first opportunity most fans will have to see the band play their newer songs live.

No UK live appearances have yet been confirmed, and while Ed O’ Brien appeared to rule out any outdoor shows in this country for 2012 in an interview late last year, the band have been linked with several festivals nonetheless.
