Most definitely. A blown head gasket can cause the temperature to rise and put back pressure into the radiator, therefore possibly causing the radiator hoses to blow, or even bursting the radiator.

Would the head going cause a new radiator to blow or vise versa so which failed first the new radiator or the new head gasket?

A blown head gasket will pressurise the cooling system sometimes to the extent of blowing the radiator. A blocked radiator will cause a lack of coolant flow and overheating, which can cause head gasket failiure. Without inspecting the vehicle there is now way to tell which component failed first.

blown head gasket. the easiest way to tell is to open the radiator cap while the cars running BUT BE CAREFUL! if theres antifreeze in there it will spray and burn you! but if you have a blown head gasket when you open the throttle the same white smoke will blow out of the radiator cap. white smoke is a sign of a blown head gasket though.
