\n\tRadiohead<\/a> are returning to Australia for the first time in 15 years, announcing a 16-show arena tour for 2027 \u2014 part of a run that will be the band\u2019s only concerts anywhere in the world next year.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe tour opens with a four-night stand at Perth\u2019s RAC Arena from May 3, before six-show residencies at Melbourne\u2019s Rod Laver Arena and Sydney\u2019s Afterpay Arena, wrapping June 1. Rather than a traditional national run, Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Philip Selway and Ed O\u2019Brien will settle into each city for multiple nights. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Australian dates, presented by Frontier Touring, will be followed by five shows in Saitama, Japan, and the band has confirmed there will be no additional 2027 concerts elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe run marks Radiohead\u2019s first Australian tour since 2012 and follows a series of European residency shows in late 2025 \u2014 the band\u2019s first performances after several years away from the road, during which its members pursued solo and side projects. Speculation about a return had been building for months, stoked in part by O\u2019Brien, who told Rolling Stone earlier this year that the band hoped to make it back. \u201cWe\u2019d love to come to Australia,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a question of when.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGiven the anticipated demand, tickets will be distributed through a registration system covering both general and accessible tickets rather than a conventional first-come sale. Registration is open now and closes at 5 p.m. AEST on Thursday, Sept. 10, with Frontier Touring saying every entry submitted during the window will be treated equally. Each ticket will include a $2 donation directed to Greenpeace Australia Pacific and the Australian Marine Conservation Society.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the most acclaimed and influential rock bands of the past three decades, the Oxford, England, group broke through in 1993 with \u201cCreep,\u201d which remains their highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 single at No. 34 and was later certified platinum in the U.S. <\/p>\n

\n\tRadiohead have topped the Billboard 200 four times \u2014 with Kid A (2000), which was their first U.S. No. 1, Amnesiac (2001), In Rainbows (2008) and 2016\u2019s A Moon Shaped Pool, their most recent studio album \u2014 alongside landmark records including OK Computer and The Bends.<\/p>\n
