ritzy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'splendid' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's unknowns supporting radiohead' is the wordplay.
'unknowns' becomes 'zy' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'supporting' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'radiohead' becomes 'r' (head letter of 'radio').
'it'+'zy'='itzy'
'itzy' put after 'r' is 'RITZY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ritzy that I've seen before include "Expensively stylish" , "Ostentatiously stylish" , "Richly elegant" , "Luxuriously elegant" , "Ostentatiously opulent (sl.)" .)
