Radiohead disappoint fans with new album news
Radiohead recently revealed that they will embark on a 20-date tour of the United Kingdom and Europe in 2025. Now, Colin Greenwood has shut down new music rumours and revealed what they might include on the setlist.
Greenwood, who plays bass in the iconic band, recently spoke on the Adam Buxton Podcast about their live undertaking. He and his brother aren’t involved in choosing the setlist because they’re too indecisive, but the group approaches shows with a “busking attitude,” meaning they can play anything, in any order, at any time.
He said, “Oh, I think it’s going to be a mix set. I think we’ve like whittled it down to about 70 songs. And me and my brother are not on the setlist committee, we’re not allowed, because we’re too indecisive. So that works, so yeah. So we’ll play anything in any order, at any time. We sort of take a busking attitude to the Radiohead setlist.”
He added, “But yes, it’s going to be that. And we’re going to be playing everything, stuff from the first record all the way through to now. So yeah, 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. But you never know, some stuff might come up or not or whatever, so.”
Radiohead 2025 tour dates are a comeback
The set of upcoming shows marks their first series of concerts since 2018. They will play a series of shows in Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin.
When announcing the tour, the band’s Philip Selway said: “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.”
He continued: “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.”
