Radiohead Announces 21-Date Australia and Japan Tour

Radiohead is taking its reunion tour to Australia and Japan in 2027. The band has announced 21 arena dates spread across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Saitama, extending the live return that began with its European shows in 2025.

The run opens May 3 at RAC Arena in Perth, where Radiohead will play four nights. Six concerts at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena follow, then six more at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena. The itinerary closes with five performances at GMO Arena Saitama from June 8 through June 13.

Radiohead is building the tour around arena residencies

Rather than moving to a different city every night, the group is booking several consecutive shows in each market. That approach mirrors the structure of its 2025 European comeback and gives fans multiple chances to see the band while limiting the number of travel days between performances.

The Australian dates are especially notable because Radiohead has not toured the country since 2012. The Saitama concerts will be the band’s first headlining shows in Japan since 2008, although it appeared at the Summer Sonic festival in 2016.

Ticket registration starts before the general sale

Fans must register through Radiohead’s official ticket system between September 7 and September 10 for access to the Australian sale. Australian tickets are scheduled to go on sale September 15, while applications for the Japanese dates are being handled separately through eplus.

The announced prices range from 139 to 349 Australian dollars for seated tickets, with standing admission listed at 199 Australian dollars. In Japan, standing tickets are priced at 26,000 yen, while seated options range from 15,000 to 30,000 yen. The ticket plan also includes waitlists for later releases.

The dates continue a carefully paced comeback after Radiohead spent years away from the road. The 2025 European concerts were the group’s first shows since 2018 and featured songs from across its catalog, including several tracks that had been absent from set lists for more than a decade. No additional 2027 regions have been announced.
