Radiohead ready for 'secret' gig
Radiohead are hoping to relay the gig to fans waiting outside
Fans are waiting outside an east London record shop after Radiohead announced they are to play a gig there later.
The group will play a short set from their latest album In Rainbows at the Rough Trade East shop on Brick Lane.
Even staff at the shop did not know about the free evening show, which has been planned since November.
The band said on their website that the gig should be "interesting". "Us being us, we're taking far too many instruments," they added.
Organisers are planning a numbering system to allow fans to take a few minutes break from the queue. Radiohead also hope those left outside will not lose out completely.
"For those who can't get in - and it's pretty small in there - we'll have some screens and speakers outside, if we're allowed. I think we are. And we'll also webcast it," the band said on their website.
Doors open about 1900 GMT, with Radiohead expected on stage an hour later.
Rough Trade director Stephen Godfory said: "It's great confirmation of what we do. We celebrate music. It's not just a commodity but an art form. That's clearly got resonance with the band."
