Radiohead Returns: 2025 European Residencies, North American Tour Rumors & How To Get Radiohead Tickets

Radiohead just confirmed their first live shows since 2018: a run of 20 arena dates across Europe in late 2025. Flyers mysteriously popped up in Copenhagen and London and other European cities on Tuesday. The news was quickly confirmed with the band announcing four-night residencies in five European cities.

The last Radiohead album was 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool. Last month (Aug. 25) Radiohead released Hail to the Thief, an album of live recordings from 2003- 2009. Is Radiohead going on tour to support their highly awaited 10th LP? We think it’s definitely possible.

If you’re already scouting Radiohead tickets—and watching Radiohead tour rumors for a U.S. leg—here’s everything you need to know, from the official European schedule to smart ways to snag cheap seats if (when!) North American dates drop.

Will They Come To North America Next?

As of today, Radiohead have not announced a North American leg. The official line is: “for now, it will just be these ones,” paired with a tantalizing “…who knows where this will all lead.”

For the Radiohead concert tour in North America, we expect a run which matches the current format—city residencies. This could scale nicely to major U.S. and Canadian arenas.

Consider this section informed speculation, not confirmation. But here is why fans are optimistic:

• The band historically follows Europe with North American shows (see the A Moon Shaped Pool era).
• Multiple outlets emphasize that these are the first dates back, not the only dates.

If Radiohead extend the run, a U.S tour in late winter/spring 2026 would fit their past patterns—but again, that’s an educated guess based on history, not an announcement.

What Their Last Tour Looked Like (and Why It Matters)

Radiohead’s 2016–2018 A Moon Shaped Pool tour mixed deep cuts with classics and evolved city to city. Highlights included:

• Rare returns of “The Bends” and “Fake Plastic Trees,” performed in Mexico City for the first time since 2010.
• Multi-night runs at Madison Square Garden with rotating setlists—think “Let Down,” “Pyramid Song,” “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” “No Surprises,” and “The Tourist.”
• A lengthy global run spread over three calendar years (26 shows in 2016, 27 in 2017, 24 in 2018).

Takeaway for the Radiohead upcoming tour: residencies usually mean varied setlists night-to-night. If/when U.S. dates land, expect the same ethos—die-hard bait plus big-room anthems.

Radiohead Tour Rumors: LP10 Album Chatter

There’s real smoke here, but no official fire yet. Band members have repeatedly hinted at regrouping and new material “in the next couple of years” (2023). Rehearsal meetups were then confirmed in 2024.

In 2025, they completed new projects (a reworked Hail to the Thief for a production of Hamlet by the Royal Shakespeare Company) in the UK that fans interpreted as a sign of forward motion—and then came the European dates. None of this guarantees an album, but it’s why Radiohead tour rumors feel extra warm.

Bottom line: a 2026 release is plausible if momentum keeps building. But so far it’s only inferred, not confirmed.

How To Find Cheap Radiohead Tickets (and Avoid Fees)

Whether you’re aiming for Europe or waiting on a U.S. announcement, here’s how to keep costs down on seeing Radiohead live on tour:

1) Start with all-in prices. Marketplaces with transparent pricing help you compare apples to apples. TickPick shows the price you’ll pay upfront—no hidden fees at checkout—which makes deal-hunting faster and cheaper.

2) Use a no-fees marketplace that price-checks deals. TickPick’s BestPrice algorithm surfaces the best values across sections, and its BuyerTrust Guarantee covers your order from purchase to entry.

3) Time your buy. For hot residencies, early inventory can be pricy; prices often soften closer to show week—especially for midweek nights of a multi-night run. (If you’re flexible, pick Night 2 or Night 3.)

4) Compare seats across nights. Residencies mean options. If Friday is steep, try the Tuesday; the setlist will likely differ anyway.

5) Watch for price protection. On select events, TickPick’s Price Freeze can lock your price for a short window while you decide—handy when listings are moving fast.

6) Set alerts now. Create a watchlist so you’re first to see drops the moment a Radiohead North American tour is announced.
