Radiohead Ignites European Comeback Tour with Unpredictable Setlists

After a seven-year hiatus from live performances, Radiohead has officially kicked off its 2025 European tour in Madrid, Spain. The band’s return has been met with fervent excitement, fueled by a promise of spontaneity and a vast repertoire distilled down to approximately 70 songs. The tour, encompassing 20 shows across five cities, marks a significant moment for the Oxford-based art-rock icons and their devoted fanbase.

The band’s approach to this tour is anything but conventional. Rather than adhering to a rigid setlist, Radiohead is embracing a “busking” philosophy, allowing them to curate each night’s performance with complete freedom. This means no two shows will be exactly alike, offering a unique experience for attendees at every concert. But what does this level of unpredictability mean for fans hoping to hear their favorite tracks?

A Catalogue Reimagined: The ‘Busking’ Approach

Guitarist Jonny Greenwood previously confirmed that the tour would not feature any new material, focusing instead on revisiting the band’s extensive back catalogue. However, bassist Colin Greenwood hinted at the possibility of surprises, stating, “But you never know, some stuff might come up or not or whatever.” This ambiguity adds another layer of intrigue to the tour, leaving fans speculating about potential deep cuts or unexpected arrangements.

The decision to play in the round, with the stage positioned in the center of the venue, further enhances the immersive experience. This configuration allows for a more intimate connection between the band and the audience, fostering a sense of shared energy and collective discovery. It’s a deliberate move away from traditional concert setups, reflecting Radiohead’s continued commitment to innovation and challenging expectations.

Radiohead’s influence extends beyond their own discography. Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have remained creatively active through their project, The Smile, releasing three albums since Radiohead’s last album, ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ in 2016. Meanwhile, Ed O’Brien has pursued a solo career, Philip Selway continues to release music under his own name, and Colin Greenwood recently toured with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, demonstrating the individual artistic pursuits of each band member.

The band’s recent revisiting of their 2003 album, ‘Hail To The Thief’, is particularly noteworthy. The album served as inspiration for the Yorke co-created Hamlet To The Thief play and a newly released archive live album, highlighting the enduring relevance and artistic depth of this seminal work.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on Radiohead’s official social media channels and fan forums for real-time setlist updates and insights from each show. The band’s unpredictable approach means you might be surprised by what they play!
