Radiohead's Return with a 2025 Tour (Including Italy): It's Official

Update: It's official! Radiohead are finally returning live: the Italian dates for the 2025 tour have been confirmed. The band will bring their iconic music to the stage in a series of highly anticipated concerts.

.....

After seven long years of silence, Radiohead are ready to return to the stage. A series of mysterious flyers appearing in several European cities, including London, Berlin, Madrid, Copenhagen, and Bologna, had reignited fan enthusiasm. Now it's official: 2025 is finally the year of the English band's return, with a tour that also includes some Italian dates.

The Mystery of the Radiohead Flyers

It all started with some flyers appearing near major venues like the Barbican in London and the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, bearing Radiohead concert dates, but without further details. The news quickly spread online, fueling speculation on Reddit and social media.

Radiohead, 2025 European Tour Dates

Here are what appear to be, pending confirmation, the stops on Radiohead's new European tour:

• Madrid – November 4, 5, 7, 8 – Movistar Arena
• Bologna – November 14, 15, 17, 18 – Unipol Arena
• London – November 21, 22, 24, 25 – The O2
• Copenhagen – December 1, 2, 4, 5 – Royal Arena
• Berlin – December 8, 9, 11, 12 – Uber Arena

An intense calendar that seems to align with the band's desire to return in grand style, perhaps with a new album on the way.

New Radiohead Album on the Horizon?

The tour might not be the only surprise. The opening of a new legal entity called RHEUK25, involving all band members, is interpreted by many as a sign of an unprecedented artistic cycle, perhaps accompanied by new recorded material. It wouldn't be the first time Radiohead has preceded a new album or tour announcement with similar legal and organizational moves.

Thom Yorke and the (Non-)Confirmation

Interviewed in recent months, Thom Yorke has maintained his usual reserve, avoiding direct statements. Last year he stated that he “doesn't give weight to what people expect” and that the band takes its time, but recent evidence seems to tell a different story. Bassist Colin Greenwood also admitted that there were summer rehearsals in 2024, while Jonny Greenwood spoke of “natural and fun” sessions.

Italy in the Spotlight: Four Dates in Bologna for Radiohead

Italy will be one of the few European countries to host as many as four concerts. The choice of the Unipol Arena in Bologna is not accidental: it is a venue already tested by the band and logistically strategic for the Italian (and international) audience.

2025 is the year of the big return. Ready?
