As expected, Radiohead has begun dribbling out information about its first concerts since 2018, which will include multiple-night runs in several cities around the world. The band will perform Nov. 21-22, 24-25 in London and Dec. 1-2, 4-5 in Copenhagen, with dates in Berlin also in the works, according to sources. Full details are expected this week.
Enterprising fans in cities along the itinerary have discovered flyers touting the shows, examples of which can be seen below. Radiohead has not performed live since the tour in support of the 2016 album A Moon Shaped Pool, with frontman Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood having spent most of the past several years touring and recording with their other band, the Smile.
Meanwhile, guitarist Ed O’Brien and drummer Philip Selway have both released solo projects, while bassist Colin Greenwood has toured as part of Nick Cave’s live band.
“I think there’s a particular dynamic between the five of us [in Radiohead], which I think we’re all so proud of,” Selway told SPIN in 2023. “It’s developed from us basically learning our instruments together. But it’s such a healthy process when we step outside of Radiohead and reach beyond that, [when we] see what these other musical voices can do with your ideas.”
Radiohead recently turned back the clock for a look at material from its 2003 album Hail to the Thief, in-concert versions of which were assembled for the digital collection Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009. The project will also be available in a one-off vinyl pressing on Oct. 31 from the band’s online store.
