The
band — made up of vocalist Thom Yorke, guitarist/keyboardist
Jonny Greenwood, guitarist Ed O’Brien, bassist Colin Greenwood
and drummer Phil Selway — have 20 shows on the books, taking
place in five cities across Europe: Madrid, Bologna, London,
Copenhagen and Berlin this November and December. They will
perform four nights in each city.
Radiohead last performed in 2018, in support of their last
album, 2016's “A Moon Shaped Pool.” It is unclear if the band is
preparing a new release of original material, but earlier this
month, they did announce a new live album, “Hail to the Thief —
Live Recordings 2003-2009,” arriving Oct. 31.
“Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of
it. 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,” Selway said in a
statement. “It also made us want to play some shows together, so
we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now,
it will just be these ones but who knows where this will all
lead.”
Registration for tickets begins Friday at Radiohead.com and will
be open for 60 hours. The regular ticket sale will begin a week
later, on Sept. 15.
In the years since their last live performance, the members of
Radiohead have been busy. Yorke and Jonny Greenwood's art rock
spinoff project, The Smile, has released three albums. Colin
Greenwood joined Nick Cave's live band. O’Brien released his
debut solo album, “Earth” in 2020 and in 2023, Selway released
his third solo album, “Strange Dance.”
