Radiohead ballet comes to London (Wizbang Pop!)

'Ride The Beast', the ballet choreographed to the music of Radiohead, is set to make its London debut later this year.

The show, put on by the Scottish Ballet, uses a number of the band's songs, drawn mainly from their experimental album 'Kid A'.

Tracks used include 'Hunting Bears', 'Idioteque', 'The National Anthem', 'Fitter Happier' and an acoustic version of 'Creep'.

As previously reported, 'Ride The Beast' was debuted in Edinburgh last year, but the ballet will now visit Glasgow, London, Inverness and Aberdeen as the last part of a three-part show.
