The band has 20 shows on the books, taking place in five cities across Europe - Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen and Berlin - this November and December, performing four nights in each city.
Radiohead last performed in 2018 in support of their last album, 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool. It is unclear if the band is preparing a new release of original material, but recently announced a new live album Hail to the Thief - Live Recordings 2003-2009 releasing in October.
"Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. 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," drummer Phil Selway said in a statement.
"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."
In the years since their last live performance, the members of Radiohead have been busy. Vocalist Thom Yorke and guitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood's art rock spin-off project The Smile has released three albums.
Bassist Colin Greenwood joined Nick Cave's live band. Guitarist Ed O'Brien released his debut solo album Earth in 2020 and in 2023, Selway released his third solo album Strange Dance.
