Since the series of dates in Europe and the UK in 2025, Radiohead fans have been waiting with anticipation. Will the British quartet stretch the tour and announce more shows? According to guitarist Ed O’Brien, the band plans to play 20 concerts per year on a different continent starting in 2027. That’s what he revealed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. Here’s what we know.

In the autumn of 2025, Radiohead delighted fans with a string of concerts across Europe and Great Britain. From Madrid to Copenhagen, via Bologna, London, and Berlin, the British band logged exactly 20 shows, taking place between November 4 and December 16 last year.

Since then, fans have been waiting for one thing: the continuation of the tour. And for good reason, those lucky enough to witness Radiohead's return to the stage were treated to a meticulously crafted production, featuring a circular, centrally placed stage. As for the setlist, it varied from night to night and reflected the band’s mood, highlighting some of their countless anthems. Think of Lucky, No Surprises, Idioteque, Fake Plastic Trees, Paranoid Android and Karma Police.

So, Thom Yorke, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Philip Selway and Jonny Greenwood – will they announce new tour dates? If the guitarist is to be believed, the answer is yes. In an interview with Rolling Sones, Ed O'Brien confirmed that Radiohead would be staging new shows soon. “Absolutely,” he said, before noting that the band is planning a run of 20 concerts per year on different continents. “Each year, we’ll play on a different continent and put on 20 shows. No more, no less,” he added.

And the musician opened up further, revealing that the band plans to hit the road again starting in 2027. “We won’t do anything this year, but we’ll do something next year,” he said. The Thom Yorke–led outfit is currently eyeing dates in North America, South America, and Asia/Oceania. “We want to give it our all every night,” he asserted, justifying a tour limited to 20 shows. The big question now is where exactly these future Radiohead shows will take place and when the band will announce its new dates.
