Radiohead to Headline San Francisco Festival?
Man, by the time the summer's over, Thom Yorke and Jack Johnson are sooo gonna be BFFs. Unconfirmed rumors-- as reported by the San Francisco Weekly's "All Shook Down" blog-- would suggest that Radiohead, Johnson, and football game sideshow attraction Tom Petty will headline the inaugural Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park August 22-24.
The SF Weekly piece runs down a number of circumstantial factors that would lead one to believe their anonymous source (who, it should also be noted, doesn't work for the festival) isn't just making stuff up, including documents filed by promotion company Another Planet Entertainment suggesting a gathering of roughly 160,000 in the park over that weekend. According to the piece, Radiohead are rumored to be in California around that time for a pair of shows in Los Angeles August 24-25, though those dates have yet to be confirmed.
Of course, if you really wanna catch Radiohead and Jack Johnson buddying up in August, you could just catch a ferry to Jersey City August 8-10 for the All Points West festival. But, hey, maybe now you won't have to?
