This will be followed by six shows at Melbourne\u2019s Rod Laver Arena and Sydney\u2019s Afterpay Arena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The band last toured Australia after their 2011 album the King of Limbs, although frontman Thom Yorke visited Australia for solo shows in 2024. During a Melbourne performance, Yorke <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2024\/oct\/31\/thom-yorke-walks-off-stage-after-being-heckled-by-pro-palestine-heckler-at-melbourne-concert\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">walked off stage<\/a> after being heckled by a pro-Palestine protester in the crowd. He returned a few minutes later to perform his final song of the evening, Radiohead\u2019s 1997 hit Karma Police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Last year, Radiohead reunited after seven years for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2025\/nov\/04\/radiohead-madrid-tour-first-live-show-seven-years\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">string of shows<\/a> in European cities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The band will also <a href=\"https:\/\/eplus.jp\/sf\/word\/0000001172\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">return to Japan<\/a> for the first time in 19 years with five concerts at the GMO Arena Saitama near Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The band has not recorded a studio album since 2016\u2019s A Moon Shaped Pool. But the absence of new material has not quelled demand, with a frenzied rush for tickets when the shows were announced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Radiohead first toured Australia in 1994 after the band\u2019s debut album Pablo Honey, which contained their breakthrough hit Creep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Fans can register interest for tickets to the Australian shows on an <a href=\"https:\/\/radiohead.frontiertouring.com\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">online portal<\/a> \u2013 run by co-promoter Frontier Touring \u2013 that opened on Monday evening. It will create a ballot-like process to \u201chelp give fans fair access to tickets and minimise automated and unauthorised purchases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Tickets are capped at four for each city the band is performing in, the portal said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">\u201cThere\u2019s no benefit to registering earlier. Every completed registration received by the deadline will be treated equally,\u201d the website said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Registration closes on Thursday at 5pm AEST.
