The Easy Star All*Stars – whose current album ‘Radiodread: A Complete Reggae Version of Radiohead’s OK Computer’ was released to extensive praise last August – will tour the UK this summer. The reggae collective have completed a sell-out tour in the spring, which took them through Mexico, Chile, Turkey, Israel, and Italy. The autumn and winter of 2006 saw them tour the US and the UK extensively. Now they return to these shores once more.

The band’s set draws extensively from ‘Radiodread,’ as well as from their previous hit record ‘Dub Side of the Moon’ and their own original material. The band will also soon hit the studio to record an EP of some of their original songs, which Easy Star Records plans to release by the end of the summer. The August/September outing brings the band back to the UK for spots at Beautiful Days, Bestival, Larmer Tree, Wickerman and Solfest festivals in the UK and the Electric Picnic in Ireland. In between those shows, the band will play a number of dates in the UK and make their first trip ever to Egypt.
