Radiohead fans have been speculating for months about the possibility of the band getting back together for shows in 2025. The group hasn’t played live since 2018, and with no new album since 2016, many thought they might never return. But a series of recent clues has given people hope that a comeback is on the way.
In early March 2025, all five members of Radiohead quietly formed a Limited Liability Partnership named RHEUK25. Historically, the band has created such entities ahead of major announcements, most recently, Dawn Chorus LLP before ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ (2016) and Spin With a Grin ahead of the ‘Kid A Mnesia’ reissue (2021). This move alone is enough to fuel speculation that something big is on the way.
However, today, on platforms like Reddit, fans have noticed that flyers advertising Radiohead shows in London are available to pick at the Barbican Centre, an arts centre in the heart of London. The flyer claims that the band are to play four shows on the 21st, 22nd, 24th and 25th of November this year, with fans on Reddit speculating that they are taking place at the O2 Arena.
Similar flyers have also been found in across Europe, advertising shows in Berlin and Copenhagen at the start of December. This could indicate that a European tour may also be on the way, should the rumours be true.

Adding to the intrigue, Radiohead’s management, Blueyed Pictures, reportedly donated four tickets to a Los Angeles fire-relief auction with unusual wording: bidders could choose a “Radiohead concert of your choice” based on the band’s tour schedule. Although a spokesperson later clarified that Blueyed is not affiliated with the band and the listing was altered, the initial phrasing spread like wildfire among fans and media, amplifying speculation.
Taken together, these breadcrumbs suggest something stirring within Radiohead’s world: the LLP formation, the auction and the flyers could imply possible tour activity later in 2025. However, the lack of an official announcement and publicly dismissive tone from the band suggest caution. At this point, fans are left in a tantalizing in-between: signs point to something, but the mystery remains unsolved.
