Radiohead return: 2025 European tour dates, how to register, and the tracks we can’t wait to hear

Radiohead are officially back on the road this winter - their first live shows since 2018 and the ticket registration window opens this weekend. The band will play four-night residencies in five European cities across November and December 2025. Below you’ll find every date and venue, exactly how the registration works, and a little hype about the songs we’re crossing our fingers for on the night.

Tour dates & venues (Winter 2025)

• Madrid, Spain — Movistar Arena: 4, 5, 7, 8 November
• Bologna, Italy — Unipol Arena: 14, 15, 17, 18 November
• London, UK — The O2: 21, 22, 24, 25 November
• Copenhagen, Denmark — Royal Arena: 1, 2, 4, 5 December
• Berlin, Germany — Uber Arena: 8, 9, 11, 12 December

All dates are confirmed on Radiohead’s official site. No extra shows are planned “for now.” 

How ticket registration works

This run uses a registration system to deter bots and touts. Here are the key timings (UK time) and steps, exactly as stated by the band:

• Register between: Fri 5 Sept, 10:00 BST and Sun 7 Sept, 22:00 BST
• Unlock-code emails by: Wed 10 Sept, 22:00 BST
• Tickets on sale (with code): Fri 12 Sept, 10:00 BST
• Limits & fairness: max 4 tickets per person for one night only; a larger share of tickets is allocated to fans who live nearer each venue, with set allocations for the rest of Europe and outside Europe. Receiving a code doesn’t guarantee a ticket; sales are first-come, first-served on the official platform.

Bonus good-cause note: each ticket includes a small £/€1 charity donation (LIVE Trust in the UK; Médecins Sans Frontières elsewhere), which the band will match.

When did Radiohead last tour?

The band’s last shows wrapped in 2018, concluding the A Moon Shaped Pool tour- making this their first tour in seven years. The final night of that run was 1 August 2018 at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. 

Songs we’re buzzing to hear

Setlists will be a surprise, but a Radiohead arena in full voice is hard to beat. Imagine these dropping:

• “Paranoid Android” and “Karma Police” — the sing-your-lungs-out closers we all know and love.
• “Idioteque” — still a seismic live moment.
• “Everything In Its Right Place” — lights down, synths up, goosebumps.
• “There There” and “The National Anthem” — percussion, pulse, pandemonium.
• “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” and “Reckoner” — shimmering catharsis from In Rainbows.

(They pulled deep cuts and surprises throughout 2016–2018 - so bring your wish list.)
