United KingdomRadiohead have announced a 2027 tour that will include 16 shows across Australia and five in Japan, marking their first visit to Australia in 15 years and return to Japan in 19 years. The tour will begin in Perth on 3 May, followed by performances in Melbourne and Sydney. The band last played in Australia after their 2011 album 'The King of Limbs,' though frontman Thom Yorke had previously performed solo shows in 2024. They also reunited in Europe last year after seven years. The tour comes despite the band having released no new studio albums since 2016's 'A Moon Shaped Pool.' Ticket sales will be managed through a lottery system with limits of four tickets per city, aiming to ensure fair access.
