You’ve already had a chance to give fans a taste during a short run of concerts earlier this year. What can fans expect from your live shows when you return to North America?

Doing extended jams is certainly something we’ve been doing. The idea is we take these songs and stretch them out. I’ve been really inspired by Phish and there’s a great podcast called Long May They Run, and it’s all about Phish and their story and their philosophy and their credo. They’re such an adventurous band. I’ve been really influenced by them. So the show is really where dance and rave meets Phish. That’s the place I want to be.

Radiohead formed in 1985 when you were all still teens in Oxford, England. As part of that band, you went on to have huge success that included an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What do you think was the key to Radiohead’s longevity?

I think intentions and integrity and authenticity were the key ingredients. They guide you in a way that keeps you grounded. When we made OK Computer, there were people who expected The Bends 2. The same thing happened with Kid A, there were people who wanted another OK Computer. I think those musical responses were a result of us saying. ‘Where do we go next?’ It didn’t feel right for us to repeat ourselves and that was an authentic response. The careerist move would have been to make a record that sounded the same. Listeners wouldn’t have had to make an adjustment and it might have been even bigger. That is a well-trodden route. But we took more of a Bowie approach which was to say to ourselves, ‘Where do we feel is the right place to be?’ So I think it’s good intentions, integrity and authenticity. I think if you really honour that and follow that then you have an interesting journey. It’s a journey that will have its ups and downs, but it’s a proper journey. I think that’s what Radiohead has had and I think that’s what has happened with us all as solo artists.
