First there were rumors of it after Grizzly Bear were added to the All Points West festival, which Radiohead is headlining, now it’s been confirmed by a reliable source. Grizzly Bear will be the opening act for a least part of Radiohead’s upcoming North American tour. The full dates are expected to be announced this Monday.

MP3: Grizzly Bear - While You Wait for the Others (live on KCRW)

I’ve got to say that this is a great choice by Radiohead. Grizzly Bear are one of the best bands going today and their live show can border on the religious. I’m now way too excited to catch them this weekend at Cinci’s MusicNOW festival.
