Radiohead returns to NOLA for first time in fourteen years on Monday, April 3rd
Well, we did it folks. New Orleans was able to get one of the few coveted Radiohead US dates on the schedule and the best thing about it: the show is only two months and some change from happening.

Have a great week folks.
