in seven years. Fans had been waiting patiently since the band’s last tour in 2018, and the excitement in the arena was electric.
Drummer Phil Selway said it best:
“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.”
The 2025 Tour
Radiohead announced the tour on September 3, 2025. It covers five European cities: Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin. Each city will host four nights, making a total of 20 shows. Tickets were sold directly through the band’s official channels to keep things fair for fans.
Frontman Thom Yorke made it clear that this tour isn’t about money or massive arenas:
“We’re not going to be one of those bands that get together for the big payday.”

One of the most exciting parts of the show was the crowd-in-the-round setup, where the band played surrounded by fans. This gave the concert a special, intimate feeling, something they hadn’t done since the early ’90s.
Guitarist Jonny Greenwood admitted there are no big plans beyond the tour, and Yorke added:
“I’m just stunned we got this far.”
What Fans Can Expect
Radiohead’s tour runs until December 12, 2025, ending in Berlin. While there’s no new album yet, fans are thrilled just to see the band back on stage. The focus is clear: this tour is about reconnecting with their music and fans, not nostalgia or commercial gain.
If the Madrid show is any sign, Radiohead is sounding fresh and alive, proving that even after a long break, they still know how to put on a truly unforgettable performance.
Radiohead fans across Europe are in for a treat — this tour is not just a trip down memory lane, it’s a chance to see the band at their creative best.
