What Radiohead played on their last show together as band begins twenty-date European tour tomorrow
A return to the stage for Radiohead is set for tomorrow (November 4), with the band set to play their first show in seven years.
The Thom Yorke-fronted group confirmed a twenty-date tour for November and December this year, with dates in London, Berlin, and Madrid. The band’s last tour took them across the globe, with the last-ever show taking place on August 1, 2018. The set was filled with hits from the band’s discography, as well as a few rarities and even their rejected James Bond theme song, Spectre. It was a set which provided the Wells Fargo Centre crowd in Philadelphia with two encores and a selection of greatest hits from the band. The setlist below was performed on the second night of a two-date stop off at the Wells Fargo Centre.
The band would play a hugely different set on the first night, with the second night at the arena seeing the band end on an acoustic rendition of Karma Police. A full setlist for the Wells Fargo Centre second night show can be found below.

Fans are hoping Radiohead continually change up their setlist for the upcoming tour, with speculation running rampant after the band confirmed they had rehearsed more than sixty songs ahead of their return to the stage.
Fans believe there will be plenty of time to change the setlist from show to show. One person suggested: “100% no. They are rehearsing 70 songs and never play the same set two nights running (if ever). Radiohead are one of the greatest bands for rehearsing a LOT of songs prior to a tour and mixing up their sets and ensuring everyone gets a unique show – and often the odd surprise.
“Just check out setlist.fm and browse some of the sets on their last tour. There were a few constants from AMSP because they were touring that album – but I think I’m right that they rehearsed over 100 for that tour. This time there’s no record to promote – so the setlist is anyone’s guess. Praying they road test some new material though.”
Fans who attended Radiohead’s previous tours shared the group may have two alternating setlists. They wrote: “On longer tours, they tend to have an A and B setlist. They will both contain about 10-12 of the same songs, another 8-10 will vary between night A and B, then another 5 will be randomly cycled in. Sometimes they’ll put options on the setlist (ie The Bends/Planet Telex) and choose based on the vibe of the night.”
