Tour Details
After returning to the stage for the first time in seven years for a tour of the UK and Europe in late 2025, guitarist Ed O’Brien said Radiohead were looking to play 20 shows each year, focusing on a different continent each time. To that point, a message on Radiohead’s website accompanying today’s news notes: “There will be no extra dates announced. These are the only shows that Radiohead will be playing in 2027. The band hope to do more shows elsewhere in the future.” Summer Sonic, the annual music festival held in Tokyo, had previously teased a Radiohead appearance for 2027, though today’s announcement suggests that may no longer be the case.
