Thom Yorke will back the Green Party by performing a benefit show.
Yorke has announced he’s to play a benefit for the Green Party at Cambridge’s Corn Exchange.The show takes place on February 25, and is in aid of Tony Juniper’s campaign to become The Green Party’s first member of Parliament.
On Radiohead’s website, Yorke said:
"I think he'd be a great MP as he knows a lot about dealing with the murky brown waters of politics when it comes to the environment, but has a positive energy with a healthy contempt for the way they operate. And wouldn't it be nice to have someone there who is actually doing more than paying lip service to climate change? And maybe rip shit up a little?
"Now normally i wouldn't get involved in politics like this... but lets face it.. it aint labour or the tories is it?!? And anyway he bought me a pint and twisted my arm. it's a slippery slope i know."
Tickets go on sale today from Radiohead's website.
