I’m extremely surprised NYC gave Radiohead permission to play.

If they did even.

Context: In 2008 Fall Out Boy attempted to do a secret acoustic show in Washington Sq park. About 200 people showed up and the cops threatened to arrest the band if they played so much as a note. That wasn’t reported by major news outlets or surrounding a protest.

UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the band has denied reports of a secret show, saying they’re not playing.
