Radiohead have announced their first tour in seven years after mysterious flyers reportedly appeared in several European cities this week.
Lead singer Thom Yorke and the band will tour through Europe from November to December, with four nights each in London, Berlin, Madrid, Bologna, and Copenhagen.
In a message to fans, the band’s drummer Philip Selway said: “Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us.”
“It also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now, it will just be these ones but who knows where this will all lead.”
Radiohead’s last round of live performances wrapped in 2018, after two years on the road with their album A Moon Shaped Pool.
The seven-year gap is the longest of the band’s career, with Yorke embarking on his solo album Anima, and the formation of the Smile, his band with Jonny Greenwood and drummer Tom Skinner.
Tickets are available only via registration on Radiohead’s website, which opens at 10am UK time on Friday (5 September).
