UPDATE: Radiohead has responded (via Pitchfork), stating, “We hope that someday we will be able to look back on such acts of violent intolerance as things of the ancient past”
Radiohead is holding its ‘worldwide streaming event’ for A Moon Shaped Pool today; fans on the band’s subreddit broke news of a violent attack at one such event.
