Radiohead’s management seemingly confirms the band will play shows later this year… via an auction listing?

Radiohead are set to return to live performance, with their management confirming upcoming tour dates for 2025.

As Resident Advisor reports, the band’s management company have seemingly donated four tickets to a “Radiohead concert of your choice” as part of a Los Angeles fire relief auction at Palisades High School. The auction listing indicated that the winning bidder would be able to select their preferred city and date from the band’s forthcoming tour schedule.

Sources close to the band have indicated that Radiohead have placed holds for a series of residency performances in select European cities this autumn. The shows would mark their first live appearances since their final ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ tour date at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on 1st August 2018.

The live performance confirmation follows the band’s recent formation of a new limited liability partnership, RHEUK25. All five members – Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Philip Selway – are listed as officers in the partnership, which follows their established pattern of creating LLPs ahead of significant band activity.

“I am not aware of it and don’t really give a flying fuck,” Yorke previously told Double J when asked about speculation regarding the band’s future. “No offence to anyone and err, thanks for caring. But I think we’ve earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else’s historical idea of what we should be doing.”
