Iconic UK band Radiohead have put their faith in WA rock fans, announcing a mega-run of four shows at RAC Arena in mid-2027 to kick off their first Australian shows in 15 years.

The Creep hitmakers will play a total of 16 dates across May and June, including six nights in Melbourne, followed by another six in Sydney.

The tour announcement also included a single additional Asian city, with Saitama in Japan to host five shows in June.

Launching their Aussie jaunt in Perth with appearances on May 3, 4, 6, and 7, Radiohead will become the first musical act since P!nk in 2018 to perform across four separate nights at the RAC Arena during a single tour.

Forming in 1985, the band comprises members Thom Yorke as singer-guitarist, bassist Colin Greenwood, guitarist Ed O’Brien, drummer Phil Selway, and guitarist-keyboardist Jonny Greenwood.

As legends of the stage, they have become recognised for their immersive and transcendent live shows that are said to feel more like spiritual experiences.

The band’s last Australian appearance came in 2012, which followed their previous shows in 2004.

As one of the most influential and enduring bands in music, their debut album Pablo Honey achieved global success in 1993, with their mega hit Creep having surpassed three billion streams on Spotify.

The band have claimed three Grammy awards from a total of 18 nominations, including wins for Best Alternative Music Album across three separate occasions, with Ok Computer (1998), Kid A (2001), and In Rainbows (2009).

Their latest of nine studio albums was released in 2016, titled A Moon Shaped Pool.

Fans will be given access to purchase tickets via a registration process which is now open now, and set to close at 3pm WST, Thursday September 10.

A maximum of four tickets per person per show city will be allocated.

General admission standing floor tickets start from $199 in Perth, with various other options available, including a Fast Track Status ticket worth $649.
