True to his name, Brian Message (a partner from Courtyard Management) delivered a message to us Radiohead fans: the group’s new album, its ninth, is expected to be released in June. Speaking at a Q&A event at London’s Wanstead Tap, Message said “the new Radiohead album out in June will be like nothing like you’ve ever heard.” Check the tweet below if you don’t believe me. (Also, why don’t you believe me?)
Radiohead’s as-yet untitled album will be their first since 2011’s The King of Limbs. Their world tour starts in May, and lucky for you, you’re on the guestlist +1!
[UPDATE: The original story incorrectly stated that Brian Message is Radiohead’s manager. Radiohead clarified Brian Message’s role in an official statement:]
At an industry event in London last night Brian Message was asked about new Radiohead music. Quotes attributed to him and taken from his talk have subsequently appeared, describing him as Radiohead’s manager. Brian Message is not Radiohead’s manager - he is a partner in Courtyard Management but plays no operational role, and therefore any quotes from last night’s event, or any supposition arising from them, should not be attributed to Radiohead’s management or be seen as official quotes on behalf of the group. Radiohead are managed by Chris Hufford and Bryce Edge at Courtyard Management.
