Last night (November 5), Thom Yorke and co. played their second show in seven years – with four nights a piece in Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen and Berlin across autumn and winter.
For their comeback tour, the band revealed that their shows would be played in the round with them taking a “busking approach” to the setlist each night – having rehearsed over 65 songs from their back catalog.
For their second show, a chunk of their setlist came from the 1995’s iconic record ‘The Bends’ and the celebrated 2007 album ‘In Rainbows’. While the set kicked off with ‘2 + 2 = 5’ from ‘Hail To The Thief’, Radiohead changed up the preceding tracks to play ‘The Bends’, ‘Jigsaw Falling Into Place’, ‘All I Need’ and more.
Later in the set, they performed ‘Nude’, ‘Reckoner’, followed by a myriad of fan favourites from across their discography, including ‘Airbag’, ‘Separator’, ‘Pyramid Song’, ‘Exit Music (For A Film)’, ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out)’ and ‘Present Tense’.
Among the highlights of the night saw Radiohead perform ‘Jigsaw Falling Into Place’ and ‘Nice Dream’ for the first time since 2009, and ‘Planet Telex’ for the first time since 2017.

While last night’s show focused largely on music from ‘The Bends’ and ‘In Rainbows’, the tour’s kickoff the night prior (November 4) saw Radiohead go heavy on songs from ‘Hail To The Thief’.

November 4 also saw the band unveil their new merch line from the tour, which is also available online.
Radiohead have also not released any new music since ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ in 2016. The band also recently spoke out about the chances of new material emerging soon. “I don’t know,” said Jonny Greenwood, while Yorke added: “We haven’t thought past the tour. I’m just stunned we got this far.”
In the years since their last album, Radiohead’s Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have released three albums with The Smile, while Ed O’Brien made his solo debut, drummer Philip Selway has been active under his own name and bassist Colin Greenwood released a book of band photos as well as touring with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
