Radiohead fans are buzzing with speculation that the band could be gearing up for a significant return, after gig flyers appeared advertising a run of UK and European shows scheduled for late 2025.
Posters spotted across several cities indicate the group is set to play in London, Denmark, Madrid, and other locations, with four nights at The O2 Arena already listed for November 21, 22, 24, and 25.
The discoveries come after the registration of a new company, RHEUK25 LLP, on March 10. All five members – Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, and Philip Selway – are named as directors. The group has previously relied on LLP filings to signal new projects, such as Dawn Chorus LLP before their 2016 record A Moon Shaped Pool, and Spin With A Grin LLP ahead of the Kid A Mnesia reissue in 2021.
This most recent filing has sparked widespread talk that Radiohead might be preparing to tour for the first time since 2018, with the possibility of fresh music on the horizon. The setup also gives the band flexibility to move outside the traditional record label system.
Hints of a tour grew stronger when Resident Advisor reported that Radiohead’s manager, under the company name Blueyed Pictures, Inc., contributed four tickets to “a Radiohead concert of your choice” for a fire relief auction supporting Palisades High School in Los Angeles. The listing explained that the winning bidder would be able to pick dates “based on the band’s tour schedule.”
A source told the outlet that the upcoming tour is expected to include several European stops this autumn.
The band also marked the 30th anniversary of their 1995 album The Bends with a post on Instagram, adding fuel to the idea of a full-scale comeback.
If the shows are confirmed, it would be a significant moment for guitarist Jonny Greenwood, who was hospitalised last year with a severe infection that forced the cancellation of The Smile’s European concerts.
Radiohead has not yet made any formal announcements about the flyers or the new LLP registration.
