Radiohead returned to the stage Tuesday (11/4) Madrid, Spain, launching their European Tour 2025 before a crowd of roughly 17,000. It was their first show together since 2018 and the debut of Chris Vatalaro as a second drummer.
The comeback surprised many, especially in light of frontman Thom Yorke’s remarks last year that seemed to shut the door on any reunion hopes.
Regarding a reunion, last October Yorke told Australia’s Double J, “I am not aware of it and don’t really give a flying fuck. No offense to anyone and thanks for caring. But I think we’ve earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else’s historical idea of what we should be doing.”
And yes, he’s right. Radiohead have earned the right to do whatever they like at this stage of their career, be it a variety of off-shoot bands, solo projects, solo tours, film scores, or whatever the heck floats their boat.
