Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is to take part in the launch of the new climate change film The Age of Stupid.

Yorke will perform 'The Reckoner' live via satellite link from an undisclosed location on Monday (September 21).

His performance will follow a live discussion about the film, which has been created by British documentary film director Franny Armstrong.

In a statement, Yorke said: “There is a film that is getting a lot of attention call Age of Stupid.

"I've seen it and it stays with you - especially in light of the Copenhagen summit coming up in December where our glorious leaders must decide how we structure our plans to tackle climate change.”

The Age Of Stupid will be given its world premiere simultaneously in cinemas in over 50 countries on Monday.

As previously reported, Yorke is also due to release a new two-track EP entitled 'Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses' next week.
