Radiohead have announced their first live dates for seven years. The band will play a run of 20 shows to take place in five cities across Europe through November and December.

Radiohead will play shows in Madrid, Bologna, Copenhagen, Berlin and London, where they will play four consecutive nights at the O2 Arena in November. The band's last live performance was on August 1, 2018, in Philadelphia, concluding their A Moon Shaped Pool tour.

“Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it," says drummer Philip Selway. "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 digitally released the live album, Hail To The Thief - Live Recordings 2003-2009 earlier this month. The tracks were originally gathered as research for Thom Yorke’s arrangements for the stage production, Hamlet Hail To The Thief. The live record will be physically released on Friday October 31.
