Last week legendary English rock band Radiohead announced their first tour in seven years – and it includes several dates in London. The tour was leaked earlier in the week on flyers which were found in cities around Europe
The tour will see Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, Ed O’Brien and Colin Greenwood play just five cities across Europe in November and December 2025. It’s their first run of shows since Radiohead’s 2018 tour, which marked the release of their to-date most recent album A Moon Shaped Pool. The band also recently released live album Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009).
Now, the process for getting your hands on a Radiohead ticket is a little more complicated than usual. The band have introduced a series of measures to combat touts and bots. Here’s what you need to know about the London shows, from the dates and ticket prices to when tickets go on sale (and resale).
When are Radiohead playing London’s O2?
All of Radiohead’s London shows announced so far are in November 2025, between Nov 21 and 25.
What tour dates have been confirmed so far?
Here are the dates that Radiohead are at the O2.
- November 21 2025
- November 22 2025
- November 24 2025
- November 25 2025
When do tickets go on sale?
Tickets will go on sale at 10am BST on Friday September 12.
You’ll only be able to buy a ticket if you’ve received an ‘unlock code’, which, if you’re lucky, you will have done by now. All unlock codes were sent out by 10pm on Wednesday September 10.
Ticket prices
Tickets are priced as follows:
- Standing: £85
- Seating: £75, £99, £145 or £195
How many Radiohead tickets will you be able to buy?
Each person will be able to buy a maximum of four tickets for just one show. Tickets will largely be allocated to those living near to each show.
What if you don’t have an unlock code?
Radiohead have said that fans who weren’t lucky enough to get an unlock code first time around have automatically been added to a waiting list to receive one for any further sales. Additional codes will be sent out if orders are cancelled, tickets are returned, or the allocation is unsold.
Resale
Of course, if you didn’t get an unlock code you can always try your luck in resale, which will go live on official platforms from October 13. The official London resale site will be AXS, and you can find out more here.
Ticket registration
In order to be able to buy a ticket on Friday, you’ll have needed to have registered on the Radiohead website before 10pm last Sunday, September. It’s now too late to register.
After registration, some fans will have been sent an ‘unlock code’ that enables them to buy tickets when general sale goes live. However, an unlock code does not guarantee you tickets.
What’s been said about the tour?
Philip Selway said of the announcement: ‘Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us.
‘It also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now, it will just be these ones but who knows where this will all lead.’
