Radiohead announces first tour in 7 years

Get ready, music fans! After a seven-year hiatus from the stage, the iconic British rock band Radiohead has officially announced their highly anticipated return to live performances. The creators of groundbreaking albums like *OK Computer* and *Kid A* are set to embark on a 20-date European tour later this year, marking their first live shows since 2018.

The exciting news dropped this week, revealing a packed schedule for November and December across some of Europe's major cities. Fans can look forward to four electrifying nights each in Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin.

Drummer Philip Selway offered a glimpse into the band's decision to hit the road again, sharing on Instagram that the quintet — comprising singer and main songwriter Thom Yorke, guitarists Jonny Greenwood and Ed O’Brien, bass player Colin Greenwood, and himself — came together last year "just for the hell of it" to rehearse.

Selway eloquently captured the sentiment, stating, "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." This reunion promises a powerful re-engagement with the unique sound that defined a generation, particularly with their landmark 1997 album, *OK Computer*, which explored themes of anxiety and alienation.

Radiohead's return to the touring circuit follows another major British rock reunion this summer, with Oasis embarking on a critically acclaimed tour. It seems the 90s rock legends are making a grand comeback! For those eager to witness Radiohead live, mark your calendars: registration for tickets opens this Friday. Don't miss your chance to be part of what's sure to be an unforgettable series of concerts.
