Earlier this year, Radiohead announced a short series of U.S. tour dates for the spring, leading up to their headlining performance at this year’s Coachella festival. Now, the band have announced the openers for their sold-out U.S. tour. Dudu Tassa & the Kuwaitis, the “cross-cultural joint Jewish-Arabic project from Israel” led by singer-songwriter Dudu Tassa. The project sees Tassa exploring the musical legacy of Daoud and Saleh al-Kuwaiti, two brothers who penned popular Iraqi songs in the 1930s and ’40s. (Tassa is Daoud al-Kuwaiti’s grandson.) The recording of the group’s self-titled first album was documented in the 2011 film Iraq N' Roll. Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood Radiohead’s collaborated with Dudu Tassa on the latter’s track "Eize Yom” in 2009.
The previously announced Junun (Greenwood’s project with Shye Ben Tzur and the Rajasthan Express) have been added to the bill for Radiohead’s Florence show. Both Dudu Tassa & the Kuwaitis and Junun will perform at the band’s Tel Aviv show in July. Previously, it was also announced that James Blake would be opening for the band in Italy.
Dudu Tassa & The Kuwaitis will support Radiohead on their US headline dates, beginning in Miami on March 30th. https://t.co/Jruhgermro
