Radiohead postpone pair of Copenhagen gigs due to illness
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is suffering from an "extreme throat infection".
Radiohead have postponed a pair of Copenhagen gigs on December 1 and 2, due to illness.
Frontman Thom Yorke is suffering from an "extreme throat infection" and is undergoing treatment in a bid to be well enough to play the Danish capital's Royal Arena on December 4 and 5, and four Berlin shows.
The two postponed concerts will now take place on December 15 and 16.
Tickets for the shows will be automatically transferred to the new corresponding date. However, purchasers requiring a refund should contact their point of purchase.
The Creep hitmakers are "devastated" and "feel terrible" for the fans.
Radiohead said in a statement: “We are devastated to have to postpone these two shows at such short notice but Thom’s throat infection has made it impossible for him to sing. Treatment is underway and we’re hopeful Thom will recover in time to play the final two Copenhagen shows on Dec 4 and 5, and all four Berlin shows, starting on Dec 8. We have been so blown away by the audience reactions on these dates and are loving being back onstage again; needless to say we feel terrible that we are unable to play tonight and tomorrow.”
Their comeback tour has been a whirlwind success, with the band recently making live music history after four consecutive sold-out performances at London’s O2 Arena.
The alt-rock icons drew unprecedented crowds across their exclusive UK run, their first in almost a decade, setting a new benchmark for attendance at the iconic venue.
The band’s four-night residency, staged on November 21, 22, 24 and 25, attracted more than 22,200 fans each evening. Remarkably, every show surpassed the previous night’s attendance, culminating in a record-setting figure of 22,355 — the highest ever recorded at the O2.
The achievement eclipses the previous record held by Metallica since 2017, underscoring Radiohead’s enduring global appeal and their ability to command massive audiences decades into their career.
Fans have been treated to a mix of classics and deeper cuts, reinforcing Radiohead’s reputation for delivering performances that are both unpredictable and unforgettable.
