Seems like Jonny Greenwood may be getting a fatter paycheck on Radiohead‘s upcoming European tour: He’ll be opening for the band as well as playing with them. Greenwood’s collaborative project Junun will be opening for Radiohead at select shows in Europe–in Italy, Scandinivia, UK, Ireland, and Israel–as well as doing a few shows independently. The project is co-helmed by Shye Ben Tsur, an Israeli composer, as well as the Rajasthan Express, an ensemble based in Rajasthan, India. Greenwood tweeted today that he would be playing for “most of [the] dates (if [he] can remember the wonky bass lines).” Junun released a self-titled album in 2015 and were also the subject of a documentary directed by Greenwood’s friend and collaborator Paul Thomas Anderson.
