Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is gearing up his efforts as an environmental campaigner – he’s stepping into politics by playing gig for Britain’s Green Party.The singer is well known for his efforts to promote planet-friendly schemes, even arranging to reduce emissions on Radiohead’s 2008 eco tour.

Now he’s throwing his weight behind the U.K.’s Green Party, which promotes eco-friendly policies, ahead of an upcoming election in Britain this year. Yorke will play a solo concert in Cambridge, England on February 25th to support his buddy Tony Juniper, who is campaigning to become a member of parliament for the Green Party.

In a post on the band’s website, the singer writes, “I’m doing a low key solo thing at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on the 25th Feb. It’s because a friend of mine Tony Juniper (who used to be head of Friends of the Earth and who I went to the Copenhagen Summit with) is hoping to become one of the first Green Members of Parliament in the UK. And i wanted to help him out somehow.”

Pretty cool Yorke!
