Radiohead Apologise For Flooded Gig

Radiohead

Radiohead have thanked fans who braved a recent outdoor gig in Virginia on 11 May, which many fans failed to get into, due to flooding caused by torrential rain.

Posting on the band's website, bassist Colin Greenwood said: "To everyone who made it, and put up with the torrents on the lawn, and came early to catch the Liars and our show, thank you so much for braving the deluge. I hope you heard what you came for, the music and lights diverting you from the wet. We got out of there around three am. We've had floods at Bull Creek, lightning at the RFK stadium, so there must be some kind of Biblical fix between us and DC. Frogs next time?"

In a separate statement promoters Live Nation said that they would consider requests for refunds on "a case-by-case basis". They said: "Due to Sunday night's torrential rain storm and consequential multiple road closures, many fans were unable to reach the Nissan Pavilion. While acknowledging a lack of control over the ensuing flooding and detours, the members of Radiohead are nevertheless disappointed regarding this turn of events. For further inquiries, ticket holders who didn't get in are urged to contact: customerservice@nissanpavilion.com".
