Rehearsal Roots and Fan Hype

Drummer Philip Selway revealed the tour stemmed from a spontaneous 2024 rehearsal, saying, “After a seven-year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect.” This follows their Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009 release, tied to the 2024 Hamlet Hail to the Thief stage production. Fans on social platforms are ecstatic, with some joking, “Seven years of silence, and now Radiohead drops 20 shows—worth the wait!”

Legacy and What’s Next

Since their last tour supporting A Moon Shaped Pool (2016), Radiohead—Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Colin Greenwood, and Selway—have explored solo projects, including The Smile’s 2024 albums. This 2025 tour hints at more, with Selway adding, “Who knows where this will lead?” Expect classics like “Paranoid Android” and deep cuts, fueled by their recent creative spark.
