Radiohead perform in concert at Primavera Sound 2016 Festival on June 3^ 2016 in Barcelona^ Spain.

Radiohead will release a new live album featuring concert versions of songs from their 2003 album, Hail to the Thief, released in 2003 as Radiohead’s sixth album.

The album, mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton, features performances recorded in Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Dublin and London between 2003 and 2009. You can watch the band’s 2009 performance of “There, There” from Buenos Aires – HERE.

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke said: “In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production. I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs. I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”

The album is available now to stream, and fans can pre-order the one-off vinyl pressing in limited-edition red colorway from independent record stores or in black or cyan vinyl from the band’s online store; the vinyl is due out on Oct. 31, click here to pre-order.
