Oxford band Radiohead have announced plans to play a series of open-air concerts in the UK next summer to promote their new album In Rainbows.

Following the success of their South Park homecoming gig in Oxford in 2001, they will play Victoria Park in London on June 24 and 25, 2008.

The group will also perform in Dublin on Saturday, June 7, at Glasgow Green on Friday, June 27 and in Manchester on Sunday, June 29.

Tickets, priced £46.75, for the London, Glasgow and Manchester concerts went on sale today at 10am.

The group has also announced a series of dates across Europe in June and July and could still be available for this year's Glastonbury Festival.

In Rainbows was released online in October and the band stunned fans by asking them to pay only what they thought the album was worth.

The album is expected to be available in the shops in a number of different formats from New Year's Eve.
