Low, Liars, more play with Radiohead at Spanish tribute fest

Although arguably no different than any of the other festivals Radiohead will play this year, this time, the band is getting a fest in its honor. Proving perhaps the most Radiohead-centric tourstop of all for the guys, June 12 at the Parc Del Forum in Barcelona, Spain, will see performances from Bat for Lashes, ENEMC (Ensemble Nacional de Música Contemporánea de España presenting "Off Computer," music based on Johnny Greenwood songs) Low, Clinic, Modeselektor and Liars (who have recently had to reschedule their European tour), as well as the band itself.

Radiohead fansite At Ease explains that the one-day festival is a tribute to Radiohead, and that all the bands performing have either influenced or been influenced by the famous Brits. Also, the honorees are rumored to have handpicked several of the acts, especially believable because they'd already handpicked Liars for something else.

The allocation of tickets for sale through W.A.S.T.E. (the official Radiohead store) has already sold out, but tickets are being sold through TickTackTicket.com as well, and there's no prohibitive all-caps warning next to the event on their page so far. The band encourages travel by public transportation and offers other festival info here.
