Speculation regarding a potential Radiohead tour in Australia began following the appearance of mysterious flyers and cards marked ‘2027 Radiohead’ in various locations, including Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. These promotional materials featured QR codes directing fans to the band’s official infrastructure, W. A. S. T. E. Radiohead has since confirmed a 21-date tour scheduled for May and June 2027. The Australian leg includes 16 shows across three cities: four nights at Perth’s RAC Arena starting May 3, six nights at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, and six nights at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena. This marks the band’s first visit to the country in 15 years. As part of the announcement, Radiohead committed to donating $2 from every ticket sold to Greenpeace Australia Pacific and the Australian Marine Conservation Society, pledging to match the total amount raised. Following the Australian dates, the band will perform five shows at the GMO Arena Saitama in Japan from June 8 to June 13, 2027, marking their first headline performances in the country since 2008. To prevent automated bot purchases, ticket access will be managed through a registration process. For the Australian shows, registration is scheduled to run from September 7 to September 10, 2026. Guitarist Ed O'Brien has indicated that the band intends to follow a limited touring schedule, aiming to visit a different continent each year with approximately 20 shows per year. The 2027 tour ~~follows a series~~ aligns with this strategy of ~~European residencies performed by the band in late 2025.~~ maintaining a controlled international presence.
