Radiohead returns after seven-year break with 20 European shows

Radiohead, the acclaimed British rock band known for influential albums like "OK Computer" and "Kid A," has announced a 20-date European tour for November and December 2025, marking their first live performances in over seven years. The tour will span five cities—Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin—with four shows in each location. Drummer Phil Selway explained that the band reunited last year to rehearse and reconnect with their musical identity, which inspired them to schedule these concerts, although no new original material has been confirmed. Since their last live performance in 2018, band members have pursued various projects, including Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood's work with The Smile, Colin Greenwood joining Nick Cave's band, and solo albums by Ed O’Brien and Selway. Fans can register on Radiohead's official website to purchase tickets, with registration opening in early September. The band's return follows the recent Oasis reunion tour, and while some fans express excitement, others view Radiohead's tour as a less dynamic alternative to Oasis's live shows.
