Radiohead confirm first tour since 2018
Radiohead are hitting the road for the first time in seven years with a series of shows in Europe in November and December.
Radiohead are going on tour for the first time in seven years.
The Creep band confirmed their return to the stage on Wednesday (03.09.25) after teasing the shows with mysterious flyers that appeared in cities around Europe.
Radiohead will play four gigs at London's O2 Arena in November and have other performances scheduled in Berlin, Bologna, Copenhagen and Madrid.
The group – made up of Thom Yorke, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Philip Selway and Jonny Greenwood – haven't played live since 2018 but Selway explained on the band's Instagram account that they had reunited "to rehearse, just for the hell of it" last year.
The drummer wrote: "After a seven-year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us.
"It also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates."
Selway added: "Who knows where this will all lead."
Radiohead have not mentioned any new music as part of their return as the social media post included versions of artwork from their 2005 track I Want None of This.
The Paranoid Android band haven't performed together since ending their Moon Shaped Pool tour in the US in 2018 but Colin revealed last year that they had been rehearsing together in London.
The 56-year-old bassist said: "We did some rehearsals about two months ago in London, just to play the old songs.
"And it was really fun, had a really good time."
However, Yorke issued a blunt response last year to fans who were calling for Radiohead to return.
The frontman told Double J: "I am not aware of it and don't really give a flying f***."
Thom claimed that Radiohead wasn't a priority for him at that point in time and suggested that the band members have "earned the right" to focus on their individual projects.
He said: "No offence to anyone and err, thanks for caring.
"But I think we’ve earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else’s historical idea of what we should be doing."
Registration for tickets for the new tour will open at Radiohead.com on Friday (05.09.25) at 10:00 BST.
