Radiohead Teased For 2027 Summer Sonic

Radiohead has been teased for a 2027 appearance at Tokyo's Summer Sonic festival. A video shown at the festival featured live concert footage of the band and concluded with 'TOKYO 2027'.

The band returned to the stage in late 2025 for the first time in seven years, playing 20 shows in major European cities. Guitarist Ed O'Brien mentioned Radiohead's tentative plans to play 20 shows a year, visiting a different continent each time, starting in 2027.

Radiohead has a history with Summer Sonic, having headlined the festival in 2003 and 2016. Thom Yorke also played a Summer Sonic-sponsored club show with his Tomorrow's Modern Boxes setup in 2015.

## What's Next The teaser has sparked excitement among fans, who are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the band's 2027 plans. With no plans for 2026 outside of solo work, the possibility of a Radiohead tour in 2027 is looking more likely.

## Why It Matters The potential return of Radiohead to the Summer Sonic festival is significant, given the band's dedicated fan base and influence on the music scene. The festival's hint at a 2027 appearance suggests that Radiohead may be gearing up for a new tour, which would be their first major outing since 2025.

The news is also notable for fans in North America, who have been waiting for the band to return to the continent. With Ed O'Brien's mention of visiting a different continent each year, starting in 2027, there is hope that Radiohead may eventually make their way back to North America.
