Radiohead's triumphant return: A seven-year hiatus ends with bold new plans
Radiohead has returned to the stage after a long break. The band ended a seven-year pause in 2025 with a series of UK and European performances. Their comeback follows a period when guitarist Ed O'Brien questioned the group's future and even considered leaving.
Back in 2018, O'Brien felt the band had lost its creative spark. He admitted he no longer enjoyed being part of Radiohead and thought about walking away. Instead, he explored solo work, releasing Earth under the name EOB in 2020.
The group's return in 2025 marked a fresh start. Their first London show earned a five-star review from *NME*, signalling strong fan and critical support. Now, the band has outlined a new touring strategy. From 2027, Radiohead will perform 20 concerts each year on a single continent. The plan involves rotating locations, with North America, South America, Asia, and Oceania already named as potential destinations. This approach ensures a focused but varied schedule for years to come.
The band's revival comes after years of uncertainty and solo projects. Their structured touring plan suggests a long-term commitment to live performances. Fans can expect a steady stream of shows, each year in a different part of the world.
