Radiohead are set to embark on a UK and European tour later this year – find all the details on how to register and buy tickets below.
The band are due to make their long-awaited return to the stage this November for a run of 20 arena concerts across five cities. It’ll mark their first performances together since 2018.
Kicking off in Madrid, the upcoming trek will also include concerts in Bologna, Copenhagen, Berlin and London. Thom Yorke and co’s return to the UK capital will see them host a four-night residency at The O2 in Greenwich on November 21, 22, 24 and 25.
The only way to secure tickets for the shows is by registering via Radiohead’s official website. Fans can sign up between 10am BST/11am CEST today (Friday September 5) and 10pm BST/11pm CEST on Sunday (7).
You’ll then be able to access the general sale at 10am BST/11am CEST next Friday (12), using an unlock code.
According to the band, this system will “reduce competition from bots and ticket touts”. “You will be able to purchase a maximum of 4 tickets for one of the dates only, to allow as many people as possible to attend,” a post on their site adds.
“We will apportion the greater share of tickets to those living nearer the show as shown here, and there will be allocations for those who wish to travel inside Europe and for those outside Europe.”
It states: “Our aim is to distribute tickets according to demand in a fair and geographically convenient way.”
Fans will need to provide their name, email address, mobile phone number and city and country of residence: “This information will be used to verify your identity when you purchase tickets.”
Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and receiving an unlock code does not guarantee a ticket. You can find more information here.

Upon announcing the gigs, drummer Philip Selway said: “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.
“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.”
Radiohead began teasing their 2025 shows earlier this week, when a series of flyers popped up in the cities they’ll be visiting.
The band’s most recent live performance was held on August 1, 2018 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. It marked the end of their ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ tour in support of their 2017 album of the same name – which they have yet to follow up.
This March, it was reported that they had “placed holds in select European cities for a run of residency gigs” this year. This came shortly after Radiohead sparked rumours of new music after forming a new legal entity called RHEUK25 LLP.
Bassist Colin Greenwood revealed last year that Radiohead “did some rehearsals” over the summer. However, he later told NME that “it doesn’t mean a tour is imminent”. He added: “I think we’re still a band where people might want to know what might happen next. We’re very lucky to have that.”
Elsewhere, Jonny Greenwood told us that the rehearsals were “fun and natural”, but explained that there were “no plans” for new material. “We’ve [got] lots of individual projects going on at the moment,” he explained.
Frontman Yorke, meanwhile, said around the same time that he “really doesn’t give a fuck” if fans wanted Radiohead to return. The singer, who has been busy with The Smile in recent years, admitted in August that he was “still struggling” to be creative following the COVID-19 pandemic. He was speaking upon the launch of Radiohead’s new exhibition, ‘This Is What You Get’.
In other news, the band have revisited some “archive” recordings from the ‘Hail To The Thief’ era for a new live album. This year, Yorke brought the 2003 record to the stage with his Hamlet Hail To The Thief production.
Meanwhile, the pro-Palestine BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement has called for a boycott of Radiohead’s 2025 tour. The campaign group have said the group have “yet to apologise” for a show in Tel Aviv in 2017, and has criticised Jonny Greenwood’s past performances with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa.
