Radiohead Fans Go Wild as Tour Flyers Surface – 2025 Dates Finally Revealed?

There is nothing that represents Gen X (and millennial) alternative rock like Radiohead. The band has been together for four decades! So hold onto your cassettes and DVDs, music lovers, because the internet is abuzz with excitement. After what feels like an eternity since their last tour in 2018, Radiohead might actually be preparing to grace us mere mortals with their presence once again.

 

The Radiohead Flyers That Started It All

Here’s where things get juicy. Mysterious flyers have been popping up across European cities like some kind of musical treasure hunt, and fans are losing their collective minds. These aren’t your typical concert announcements either – they’re cryptic, minimalist, and absolutely dripping with that signature Radiohead aesthetic we all know and obsess over.

The flyers spotted so far suggest four dates at London’s The O2 Arena for November 21, 22, 24, and 25. Copenhagen gets their turn with shows from December 1-5, while Berlin wraps things up with performances through December 12. Each poster features identical artwork in different colors, which honestly feels very on-brand for a creative band that’s never been accused of doing things the conventional way.

Why These Flyers Aren’t Just Fan Fiction

Look, we’ve all been burned by fake concert announcements before. But here’s why this feels different, and why even the most skeptical fans are starting to believe:

• The Business Moves Don’t Lie

Back in March, all five band members – Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, and Philip Selway – registered a new business entity called RHEUK25 LLP. This isn’t their first rodeo with cryptic business filings. The rockstars pulled similar moves before releasing A Moon Shaped Pool in 2016 (Dawn Chorus LLP) and the Kid A Mnesia reissue in 2021 (Spin With A Grin LLP).

The “25” in RHEUK25 is pretty hard to ignore when you’re looking at potential 2025 tour dates. Coincidence? In the world of Radiohead, coincidences are about as rare as Thom Yorke cracking a genuine smile during interviews. Seriously.

• The Manager’s “Oops” Moment

Here’s where things get really interesting. Resident Advisor reported that Radiohead’s management company, Blueyed Pictures Inc., donated four tickets to “a Radiohead concert of your choice” for a fire relief auction supporting Palisades High School in Los Angeles. The kicker? The listing specifically mentioned dates would be “based on the band’s tour schedule.” Hmm.

That’s either the most elaborate bluff in music history, or someone at management basically confirmed what we’re all desperately hoping for.

 

What This Means for Jonny Greenwood

A severe infection landed Greenwood in the hospital last year, forcing his band The Smile to sadly cancel their European tour dates. Seeing him back on stage with Radiohead would be nothing short of emotional for longtime fans who’ve watched this band weather every storm imaginable.

 

The Instagram Anniversary Post That Broke the Internet

As if the flyers weren’t enough to send fans into a frenzy, Radiohead marked the 30th anniversary of The Bends with an Instagram post that had everyone reading between the lines like they were decoding ancient hieroglyphics. Because when has this band ever posted anything without many layers of meaning?

Thom Yorke’s “I Don’t Give a Flying F***” Energy

Back in October 2024, Thom Yorke addressed to LouderSound.com, reunion speculation with his characteristic bluntness, saying he “[doesn’t] really give a flying f***” about the rumors. He also mentioned that the band has “earned the right” to go at their own pace and do “what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves.”

That’s classic Yorke – dismissive on the surface but leaving just enough room for possibility to keep us all hanging on by a thread with every word.

The Long-Awaited Return

It’s been seven years since Radiohead has been consistently active as a touring unit. Seven. Years. In that time, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have been busy with The Smile, while Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway have pursued solo ventures. Colin Greenwood has played with Nick Cave. But there’s something different about the full Radiohead experience that can’t be replicated by side projects, no matter how talented the individual members are.

What We’re Really Looking At Here

These flyers represent more than just potential concert dates – they’re a lifeline for fans who’ve been subsisting on A Moon Shaped Pool and various side projects for what feels like an eternity. The band’s ability to create anticipation through absolute minimal communication is unmatched in the music industry.

The European focus of these rumored dates makes perfect sense too, as Radiohead has always had a massive following in Europe. We’re hoping 2025 is the year that Radiohead will finally return to the stage.

For a band that’s built their entire career on making fans wait, analyze, and interpret every possible signal, this feels like the most concrete hint we’ve gotten in quite a few years. We’re here for every cryptic, maddening, and absolutely brilliant second of it.
