According to a source close to the festival, internationally acclaimed band Radiohead has agreed to play the Denton festival, much like The Flaming Lips did just last month, in an effort to raise awareness for green initiatives at a local level. The show is intended to be free and open to the public, and will feature numerous teaching stations instead of the usual sponsor padded merch tents. Radiohead has long been known for its green outlook on the world, having planned their tours in a way that would have a limited impact on the environment and giving both time and money to Earth-conscious charities. Partnered with the ongoing initiative in the City of Denton to better the town culturally and environmentally, this event shows the commitment the city has for both the festival's future and its future as a leader in social change.
This of course a stunning get for a festival that just finished up its second year, and further shows the initiative taken by festival head Chris Flemmons and his loyal band of volunteers.
