Why the Long Break & What Brought Them Back?
Radiohead last toured in support of A Moon Shaped Pool, which wrapped up in 2018. Over the intervening years, all members pursued side projects: Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood with The Smile, Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway with solo work, collaborations, etc. In 2024, the band met again to rehearse “just for the hell of it,” which rediscovered their shared musical identity and prompted them to plan shows.
Ticketing, Fair Access & Extras
- Fans must pre-register on Radiohead’s official site for a chance to buy tickets — this helps reduce unfair practices like bots and scalpers.
- There are unlock codes involved; maximum of four tickets per person.
- Allocation is designed to give priority to those living closest to venues, but there will be some seats allocated for fans traveling from further afield.
Radiohead’s return to the road after seven years isn’t just a comeback — it’s a reminder of why their music matters now, as much as ever. Whether you’ve followed them since OK Computer, discovered them through Kid A, or only just got into The Bends, these concerts are shaping up to be must-see moments. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
