Radiohead’s series of European tour dates for November and December, marking their first shows in more than seven years, have sold out.

The tour will include four-night residencies in Madrid; Bologna, Italy; London; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Berlin; beginning Nov. 4 in Madrid, Spain before heading to Bologna, Italy; London; Copenhagen, Denmark, and concluding in Berlin, Germany on Dec. 12.

Radiohead drummer Philip Selway said in a statement accompanying the tour 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?”

Radiohead last toured in 2018 in support of their 2016 album, A Moon Shaped Pool. Since then, singer Thom Yorke and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Greenwood have released two albums with their band The Smile, and guitarist Ed O’Brien released his debut solo album, Earth, in 2020.

According to Radiohead’s website, “a few more tickets may be released at a later date to those who registered. Head to the band’s website for further details.
