Radiohead tease comeback tour of UK and Europe on flyers
If the flyers spotted out and about are legitimate, the band will play four gigs in London as part of the tour
Radiohead appear to be teasing their first gigs in seven years, if a series of new flyers discovered by fans are to be believed.
Over the last 24 hours, the Radiohead page on Reddit has been populated with pictures of flyers found by fans in European cities such as London, Berlin and Copenhagen.
The flyers found in London – specifically at the Barbican Centre – point to four shows in the city to take place in late November (21, 22, 24, 25).

The tour will seemingly start in Madrid in early November. The band will then play gigs from December 1 in Copenhagen and Berlin. See all the found flyers so far below.

Late last year, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood said that the band had “no plans” for 2025, despite recently rehearsing together. Despite this, March 2025 then saw the band launch a legal entity with the now-prophetic title, RHEUK25.
Jonny’s comments came after bassist and his brother, Colin Greenwood, revealed that the band had recently reconvened for some “really fun” rehearsals, six years after their last tour concluded.
Since Radiohead last played together, Greenwood, Thom Yorke and Tom Skinner have launched The Smile, who released their third album, Cutouts, last year.
Yorke has also created a new play fusing Shakespeare’s Hamlet and his band’s 2003 album, Hail to the Thief.
The band will also celebrate Hail to the Thief later this year with a new live album. Yorke said: “In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs.”
“I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”
