After a seven-year absence from the touring circuit, iconic British band Radiohead has announced a highly anticipated return to live performances with a 20-date European tour scheduled for November and December 2025. The tour marks their first since 2018, breaking a notable hiatus that has left fans keenly awaiting their return to the stage.
Radiohead breaks seven-year touring silence with a twenty-date European comeback, electrifying fans after their extended stage absence.
The meticulously structured tour will feature four-night residencies in five major European cities: Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin.
Performances will take place at prestigious venues including Movistar Arena, Unipol Arena, The O2, Royal Arena, and Uber Arena, respectively. The schedule begins November 4 in Madrid and concludes December 12 in Berlin, with each city hosting shows on consecutive dates with occasional one-day breaks.
Access to tickets requires fan registration through Radiohead’s official website, a system seemingly designed to curb scalping and promote direct fan engagement. The registration window opens September 5th at 10:00 a.m. BST and closes just two days later on September 7th at 10:00 p.m. BST, creating a narrow opportunity for fans to secure their place in line.
The band’s strategic selection of major metropolitan areas spans Southern, Western, Northern, and Central Europe, providing broad geographic coverage while focusing exclusively on markets with established live music scenes.
This arrangement allows for logistical efficiency while maximizing audience reach across the continent.
The five-member band, consisting of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, and Philip Selway, was reportedly inspired to return to touring after a rehearsal session in 2024 sparked renewed enthusiasm for live performances.
The band has launched a comprehensive social media campaign featuring eye-catching visualizers and content to build excitement among their fanbase ahead of the tour dates.
Music industry observers note that Radiohead’s return aligns with broader trends of major acts resuming touring activities in recent years. The announcement has generated substantial buzz across social media platforms and music news outlets, with fans speculating about potential setlists and whether new material might accompany the tour.
The four-night engagements in each city suggest confidence in strong demand, while the selection of large-capacity indoor arenas indicates the band’s intention to deliver the elaborate production and pristine acoustics for which their performances are known.
Tickets will be reasonably priced at around €100 for standing areas with no dynamic pricing implemented, a welcome decision for fans concerned about inflated costs seen at other major concerts.
These tour dates represent not just a chance to see the legendary group perform live but also a significant revenue opportunity for the band through merchandise sales and potential new music releases.
