It has been a very long wait, but the rumours are finally true. For the first time in fifteen years, rock legends Radiohead are packing their gear and heading back to Australia in May and June 2027.
If you have been crossing your fingers and hoping for a tour since their last visit back in 2012, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Following a string of hugely successful performances across European cities late last year, the band is bringing their famous live show down under for a massive sixteen-date tour. And yes, it is going to be epic.
Where Are They Playing?
The 2027 tour kicks off on the west coast before making its way across the country. Fans can expect an incredibly immersive and intense live music experience as Thom Yorke and the rest of the group hit up some of Australia’s top arenas.
Here is exactly where you can catch them:
- Perth, RAC Arena: Four shows kicking off on Monday, 3 May 2027, and running through to Friday, 7 May 2027.
- Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena: Six massive nights starting Thursday, 13 May 2027, and wrapping up on Thursday, 20 May 2027.
- Sydney, Afterpay Arena: Finishing the tour strong with six shows beginning Tuesday, 25 May 2027, and concluding on Tuesday, 1 June 2027.
How to Get Your Hands on Tickets
We all know how incredibly stressful buying concert tickets can be, especially for a band this popular. To keep things fair and stop sneaky automated bots from scooping up all the good seats, access to the Australian tour will be handled through a special registration process. This applies to both general and accessible tickets.
Here is what you need to know to secure your spot in the crowd:
- Registration opens: 5:00 pm AEST on Monday, 7 September 2026.
- Registration closes: 5:00 pm AEST on Thursday, 10 September 2026.
- Where to go: Head directly over to radiohead.frontiertouring.com to sign up.
Do not panic if you cannot log on exactly at 5:00 pm on Monday. Every single registration completed during this window will be treated exactly the same, no matter what time you submit it. Just make sure you get it done before the Thursday deadline!
Why This Tour is a Big Deal
Radiohead isn’t just another rock band; they are widely considered one of the most influential groups of the modern music era. With nine studio albums under their belt, from 1993’s Pablo Honey all the way to 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool, they have constantly pushed musical boundaries. Their live performances are famous for being completely captivating, and if their recent European tour is anything to go by, Australian fans are in for an unforgettable night.
A Tour That Gives Back
In a really great move, there will be a $2 charity donation included in the price of every ticket. This money will go directly to Greenpeace Australia Pacific and the Australian Marine Conservation Society. Even better, Radiohead has promised to match the total amount raised with their own personal donation. It is a fantastic way to enjoy a great night of music while supporting some highly important environmental causes.
