"Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven-year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us. It also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now, it will just be these ones, but who knows where this will all lead," read the caption on the post.

According to Variety, Radiohead last played a live show in August 2018, when they concluded their 'A Moon Shaped Pool' tour in Philadelphia.

The trek was in support of their ninth studio album before they split off to pursue side projects.

In 2019, Yorke released his solo album 'Anima' and last year a pair of records as part of the Smile, his group with Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner.

Meanwhile, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood scored several films, including 'Phantom Thread' and 'Spencer,' while Colin Greenwood toured with Nick Cave, O'Brien released his debut album 'Earth' in 2020, and Selway put out his third album "Strange Dance" in 2023, according to Variety.

Amazing news! But only European dates? That's disappointing for fans in other continents. Hopefully they announce more tours soon.

Their music got me through engineering college nights. Hope they release new material soon. A tour is great but new songs would be better!

Respectfully, while I'm excited about the tour, I wish they'd consider more accessible locations. Not everyone can afford international travel for concerts.

A Moon Shaped Pool tour was magical! Hope they play some old classics along with newer stuff. Fingers crossed for a live stream option for international fans 🤞
