“It’s definitely happening,” O’Brien responded to interviewer Simon Vozick-Levinson when asked if more shows were to come, “What we’re going to do is, every year we’re going to do a different continent, and we’re going to do 20 shows each year. No more, no less.” According to O’Brien, Radiohead plan to resume their tour in 2027, with stops in North America, South America, Asia, and Oceania on the cards, replicating their 20-show model that proved a success in Europe at the end of last year. 

Radiohead haven’t released an album in a decade with 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool, however the band’s members have been involved in numerous projects in recent years. Frontman Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s band The Smile released both Wall of Eyes and Cutouts in 2024; Yorke additionally scored an acclaimed production of Hamlet inspired by the band’s 2003 record, Hail to the Thief, which had successful runs in Manchester and Stratford-upon-Avon, while Greenwood’s most recent film soundtrack with Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another, took home the coveted Best Picture at the Academy Awards on Monday.
