Radiohead announces 2027 tour dates for Australia and Japan
British rock band Radiohead has announced a 21-date tour scheduled for May and June 2027, marking their first major performances in Australia and Japan in many years.
The Australian leg includes 16 shows across three cities: four nights at RAC Arena in Perth starting May 3, six nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, and six nights at Afterpay Arena in Sydney. To prevent automated bot purchases, the band is implementing a registration process for all tickets. Each ticket sold in Australia will include a $2 donation to Greenpeace Australia Pacific and the Australian Marine Conservation Society, which the band will match.
Following the Australian dates, the band will travel to Japan for five shows at the GMO Arena Saitama from June 8 to June 13, 2027. This marks their first solo headlining performances in Japan since 2008. The tour follows a series of European residencies performed by the group in late 2025.
