RADIOHEAD ANNOUNCE THEIR RETURN TO AUSTRALIA

The wait is almost over! After 15 years, Radiohead are finally coming back to Australia.

The British rock giants will play 16 shows across May and June 2027, kicking off with four nights at Perth’s RAC Arena from May 3. They’ll then head to Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and Sydney’s Afterpay Arena for six performances in each city, finishing the run on June 1.

The return follows European residencies last year and marks the band’s first Australian performances since 2012. Few groups have reshaped modern rock quite like Radiohead. Across nine albums, from Pablo Honey to A Moon Shaped Pool, they’ve consistently rejected the predictable, producing music that remains adventurous, atmospheric and fiercely influential.

For fans eager to see the band return, ticket access will be managed through a registration process covering both general and accessible tickets. The system is designed to improve fair access and reduce automated and unauthorised purchases.

Registrations opened at 5pm AEST on Monday, September 7, 2026, and close at 5pm AEST on Thursday, September 10. Register for tickets here.
