RADIOHEAD - RADIOHEAD FANS FUMING OVER STORM-WRECKED SHOW

Frustrated RADIOHEAD fans who were locked out of a show in Virginia on Sunday (11May08) after torrential rain and traffic trouble caused them to arrive late have been offered another chance to see the band.
Angry fans inundated the band's official website to complain about missing the concert at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, claiming the band and the venue bosses should have been more accommodating and accepting of the weather conditions.
The controversy has prompted Radiohead to issue a statement, inviting fans who were caught up in the monsoon-like conditions, which prompted officials to close roads around the venue, to return their tickets for the chance to see the band at another venue.
The statement reads, "While acknowledging a lack of control over the ensuing flooding and detours, the members of Radiohead are nevertheless disappointed regarding this turn of events."
Promoters Live Nation have offered fans that were turned away from the gig on Sunday tickets to an August show in Camden, New Jersey, or tickets to a show of their choice at Nissan Pavilion.
But the offer has angered many fans who are refusing to make the trip to New Jersey.
Many feel the idea of fans driving all the way from Virginia to New Jersey for the show makes a mockery of Radiohead's bid to make their touring plans as environmentally-friendly as possible.
In a post on the group's website, one angry fan writes, "One-third of the concert-goers that night were driving around in circles, burning fossil fuels all the while. This is your save the Earth tour... and yet you play in the middle of nowhere with no public transportation leading there. You owe us!"
