Radiohead to Play Benefit for Haiti in LA...

Radiohead will play Sunday night at Hollywood’s Henry Fonda Theatre, a last-minute show added to benefit relief efforts in Haiti. Tickets will be sold only via auction, and bidding starts at 8 p.m. Thursday (TONIGHT!). The band writes on its official website that all proceeds will benefit Oxfam.

Members of Radiohead have been spotted around town this week. LA Weekly caught the band checking out the Hotrats at Spaceland, and a bunch of VIPs saw Thom Yorke play a DJ set at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel. Happy bidding, and let us know if winning bidders have to pay a Ticketmaster service fee.

Radiohead’s statement:

“We’re doing a show this Sunday to raise funds for the relief effort in Haiti. All proceeds are going to the Oxfam Haiti relief fund. We’re trying to raise as much money as possible, so tickets will be sold by auction at this site until Saturday. We’re in the middle of recording at the moment, so you’ll be catching us on the fly… but if you’re up for it, then we are too. See you then.”
