It's time.
Radiohead will return to Australian stages in 2027, their first shows here since November 2012. The band has confirmed 16 arena dates across Perth, Melbourne and Sydney through May and June, part of a wider run of 21 concerts that also takes in Saitama, Japan.
Catch up on all the latest news here.
The Australian leg opens at RAC Arena in Perth in early May before settling into long residencies at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and Afterpay Arena in Sydney, the room formerly known as Qudos Bank Arena. Six nights each in the two eastern cities points to the demand Radiohead still pulls 15 years on from their last visit, on the tour behind The King of Limbs.
Tickets will only go to fans who register at radiohead.com, with Frontier Touring running the Australian shows and eplus the Japan ones. The idea is to get tickets straight to fans and keep out the touts and bots that target a run this big. Registration opens on Monday 7 September at 5:00PM AEST, or 3:00PM in the west.
The tour comes after a run of residencies the band played in Europe late last year, their first shows since 2018. Before that, members had spent years on other projects, including Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood in The Smile. Japan has had a shorter wait, with Radiohead last headlining there in 2008 and playing Summersonic in 2016.
