Radiohead Management Confirms Forthcoming Tour, Hinting at Possible Reunion in 2025
Exciting news for Radiohead fans: it appears that the iconic British band is gearing up for a major return to the stage later this year. Following the conclusion of a fire relief auction on March 17, which included exclusive ticket listings, Radiohead’s management has confirmed that the band is planning a tour for some time in 2025. The highest bidder in the auction was granted the opportunity to select their preferred city and date, based on the band’s upcoming schedule—a clear sign that Radiohead’s much-anticipated return is on the horizon.
Adding further weight to the speculation, a close source to the band confirmed to various outlets that Thom Yorke and the rest of the band have already placed holds in select European cities for a series of residency gigs this autumn. While the details are still under wraps, this news is sure to get fans buzzing about a potential new era for Radiohead.
New Legal Entity Sparks Speculation
Adding fuel to the fire, the band has recently formed a new limited liability partnership (LLP) under the name RHEUK25, a move that many believe signals an impending announcement. Radiohead has used this strategy in the past as a precursor to album releases, tours, or reissues. The LLP, which includes all five members of Radiohead—Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, and Philip Selway—suggests that the band is preparing for significant activity in the near future.
Radiohead has been known for its independent approach to music and business, particularly since parting ways with EMI/Parlophone after the release of *Hail to the Thief* in 2003. In 2007, they founded Xurbia Xendless, the company that handled the revolutionary *In Rainbows* release, which allowed fans to pay whatever they wanted for the album. This method of self-reliance has continued with their subsequent albums, which have been managed in partnership with XL Recordings.
Though Radiohead has remained tight-lipped about their upcoming plans, their legal maneuvers suggest something major is in the works for 2025. The formation of the LLP has left many fans speculating that new music, a large-scale tour, or even a potential reissue of past albums could be on the way.
**A Look Back at the Band’s Recent Activity**
While there have been no official announcements yet, the recent comments from band members offer further insight into Radiohead’s future. Last year, frontman Thom Yorke 
In a candid interview with an Australian outlet, Yorke remarked, “I really don’t give a fuck” about speculation regarding the band’s return, though he expressed appreciation for fans’ interest. His comments, while dismissive of the pressure to reunite, also highlighted Radiohead’s right to pursue their own path without being held to past expectations.
Meanwhile, bassist Colin Greenwood gave a more hopeful update in an interview with NME around the release of his new photo book, *How To Disappear*. He revealed that the band had gotten together for a short rehearsal session last summer, where they ran through old songs and reflected on their last time in the studio. “It was really fun and nice to see everyone,” he said. “We were going to do three or four days but knocked it on the head after two because it was fine and we could still do it.”
Greenwood also mentioned that, with just a couple of weeks’ rehearsal, the band could easily hit the road again. This comment hints at the possibility that a full-scale tour may indeed be in the works, especially given the band’s history of surprise activity and willingness to experiment with new formats.
What’s Next for Radiohead?
Although nothing has been confirmed officially, the recent developments point to an exciting year ahead for Radiohead fans. The band’s formation of RHEUK25 and their confirmed plans for residency gigs in select European cities this autumn suggest that a full-fledged tour might be on the cards, perhaps even leading into 2025. Given their history of surprise releases and unconventional business strategies, it’s clear that Radiohead is preparing for something big.
As always, Radiohead has remained mysterious about their plans, but their recent actions suggest that the band is more than ready to step back into the spotlight. Whether it’s a new album, a reissue, or a long-awaited tour, it seems that Radiohead is on the cusp of another groundbreaking chapter in their storied career. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details, and given the band’s track record, whatever is coming next is sure to be worth the wait.
