The Occupy Wall Street drama continues as Gawker releases a report/rumor that Radiohead will be playing at 4pm today on Wall Street. Though the band's management denies it, a OWS spokesperson insists it's absolutely happening. Hmmm..who are we to believe? Protesters are definitely publicity-hungry, so this could very well be a ploy for more headlines --and it's pretty genius if you ask us. Considering people have offered everything short of harvesting their souls to the devil (some probably have, actually) to get the much coveted and sold out Radiohead tickets, we wouldn't be surprised if OWS was using this as another stunt. Here are the latest updates from Gothamist:

 

UPDATE 12:19 p.m.: A spokesperson for Occupy Wall Street confirms "Radiohead will play a surprise show today at four in the afternoon. Press conference at one in the afternoon."

Update 12:54 p.m.: The OWS spokesperson tells Gawker they have no permit but the police are "aware" of the event. This is going to be interesting—a band with Radiohead's popularity can easily draw a hundred thousand for a free show in New York City. You need permits for this sort of thing, obviously, there are a lot of crowd control issues that are to be worked out in advance. However you slice it, this will be bananas. Press conference in 5.

Update 1:15 p.m.: Radiohead's management tells us that there's no concert for the protesters, but Occupy Wall Street insists it's happening.
