Radiohead manager, Brian Message, announced earlier today during a Q&A that the band's ninth studio album is coming in June.

While the arrival of a new album isn't really a surprise, Radiohead's guitarist Johnny Greenwood told Silver Radio hosts last October that the album was done, now we know when it's coming and we've got a bit more advance warning than we did with King of Limbs and In Rainbows.
Late last month the band launched a new company called "Dawn Chorus Ltd," which tipped fans off that the new album was probably coming soon. The band did the same before the release of King of Limbs and In Rainbows.
In keeping with Radiohead's often secretive and limelight-shy nature, details are scant for the new album. The band have announced a full fledged world tour though, and you can bet that they'll be playing some new stuff on stage. Here's hoping we learn a few more details before the band decides to just drop the album because they feel like it (though that wouldn't be too bad either). Check out the tour itinerary below.
