Radiohead have announced their first Australian tour in 15 years with shows in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney next year.

The British rockers returned to the stage in the UK and Europe last year and on Monday confirmed a run of 16 shows in Australia during May and June next year.

The band’s tour will see them play four nights at RAC Arena, Perth from May 3, before playing six shows at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne from May 13, and six shows at Afterpay Arena, Sydney from May 25.

Guitarist Ed O’Brien previously confirmed the band planned to tour again in 2027 and beyond.

“What we’re going to do is, every year we’re going to do a different continent, and we’re going to do 20 shows each year. No more, no less,” he said.

Radiohead’s Australian tour will be followed by a run of dates in Saitama, Japan.

To reduce competition from ticket scalpers, tickets will only be available to fans who register on Radiohead’s official website. Registration closes on Thursday.
