Watch Radiohead bid emotional farewell as they play last scheduled gig in Copenhagen

December 17, 2025 Culture

Radiohead have concluded their European comeback tour with a rescheduled show in Copenhagen, signing off with what appeared to be an emotional farewell.

The band announced their first gigs in over seven years back in September, revealing 20 shows across five cities this autumn and winter. Across the run, they’ve been playing in the round in the centre of the venue and taken a “busking approach” to their setlist, by playing “any order” of songs they wish – whittling down their huge catalogue to “about 70 songs”. There are no further dates planned at present.

Radiohead played four shows in Copenhagen during the tour but had to postpone the first two, originally scheduled for December 1 and 2, after frontman Thom Yorke contracted an “extreme throat infection”. Those shows have now taken place on Monday and Tuesday (December 15 and 16) at the Royal Arena.

Footage filmed by fans at the conclusion at the show showed Yorke looking particularly emotional, bowing to the crowd with his hands in a prayer formation.

Guitarist Jonny Greenwood told us there were no plans for new material to be played, while brother and bassist Colin confirmed this in a separate interview: “It’s going to be the first time I think we’ve done shows where we haven’t got new material to play as work in progress.”

In a five-star review of the opening London show, NME concluded: “What a show: a visceral energy, a tasteful spectacle, all delivered with a generosity of spirit, Yorke in full rockstar mode as the band trade places to tend to each corner of the venue. For a band once embarrassed by the notion of ‘arena rock’, nobody does it better. A new album and another night like this can’t come soon enough.”
