Radiohead’s world tour kicks off in Amsterdam on May 20 and closes out at Austin City Limits Oct. 7-9—tickets are on sale now, although many of the shows have already sold out. The prospect of a Radiohead tour was already exciting enough, but the band’s newly announced openers are a compelling trio of avant-garde artists. We loved Holly Herndon’s haunting and intricate Platform; Shabazz Palaces, whom you can listen to here, are far from your average hip-hop duo; and Dawn of MIDI have made waves with their danceable subversions of jazz.
