New Year’s Eve – party night of the year for all the amateur hour drunks out there, and an annual disappointment of crap music and snogging ugly people to the rest of us. For discerning music fans who choose to stay at home and avoid the idiots though, it looks as if there’ll be an alternative to watching Jools Holland this year, courtesy of Radiohead.

The trailblazing band, who irritated and delighted the music world in equal measure this year with their “pay-what-you-want” release of ‘In Rainbows’, are set to broadcast a pre-recorded gig over the internet and on web-and-TV user-generated-content channel Current TV.

The show, which will be available from the moment 2008 begins, has been described by Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, as "a wee celebration of the release of the physical manifestation" of ‘In Rainbows’. Bless.

Radiohead tour the UK next year, and are strongly rumoured to be the Saturday headliners at Glastonbury.
