Management at London's Somerset House have warned music fans not to respond to online advertisements for a series of shows that the ad claims will take place there in July this year. The website claims that they are selling tickets for Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and KT Tunstall gigs all due to take place at the venue. While Somerset House does, of course, stage an annual series of music events, management say these gigs are not them.
A spokesman for the venue told reporters: "The official announcement of the live programme at Somerset House this summer will be made in early May 2006. We have contacted Westminster Trading Standards to investigate this hoax".
Meanwhile a spokesperson for Radiohead added: "Fans should not respond to online advertisements for this concert. Radiohead's performance schedule for 2006 can be found on www.radiohead.com".
