A recent high-stakes charity auction offering Radiohead concert tickets has fuelled speculation about the band’s long-awaited return, with their management dropping cryptic hints about an upcoming tour.

Radiohead, the iconic Oxfordshire band, appear poised for a long-anticipated return to the stage. Their management, Blueyed Pictures, recently set fans into a frenzy after offering four premium concert tickets to a Los Angeles fire relief auction. The listing allowed the winning bidder to choose “any Radiohead show” they wished to attend, a statement that strongly implies a tour is in the works.

The tickets, which sold for a staggering $4,000, remain valid until January 1, 2026, further cementing the notion that Radiohead have live performances lined up for 2025. This revelation arrives just days after the band registered a new business entity, RHEUK2025 LLP, igniting even more speculation about their plans. Fans have drawn parallels to past releases, noting that the group historically forms new companies before embarking on major projects or tours.

Adding to the intrigue, sources close to the band have suggested that Radiohead are considering residency-style shows across multiple European cities in autumn 2025. While official details remain scarce, the auction listing described the tickets as the “ultimate fan experience,” boasting “top-tier seats” for a still-unannounced event.

Hints about a possible reunion have surfaced in recent months. Last September, bassist Colin Greenwood revealed that the band had rehearsed old material together in London, an admission that thrilled longtime fans. “It was really fun. We had a great time,” he shared at the Hay Festival Querétaro. However, frontman Thom Yorke has remained tight-lipped. When asked in October about the possibility of new Radiohead music, he bluntly dismissed the speculation. “I am not aware of it and don’t really give a flying f***,” he told Double J, seemingly quashing rumours—only for this latest development to reignite them.

The newly formed RHEUK2025 LLP echoes previous business moves that signalled new creative ventures for the band. Before releasing A Moon Shaped Pool in 2016, they established Dawn Chorus LLP. Prior to In Rainbows, The King of Limbs, and Kid A Mnesia, similar corporate entities were created, making this latest registration yet another breadcrumb leading towards a potential comeback.

With these mounting clues and the high-value auction tickets hinting at imminent live performances, fans are left wondering when Radiohead will finally confirm the inevitable. If history repeats itself, an official announcement could be just around the corner.
