Radiohead ended a seven-year live silence this week, opening their 2025 fall tour in Madrid with a set that mixed classics, experimental cuts and two surprisingly rare tracks. Fans left buzzing after a show that leaned on OK Computer and Hail to the Thief while still reaching into Kid A, In Rainbows and other eras.

The band dug into material from across their catalog. Hail to the Thief and OK Computer were particularly well represented. Tracks from Kid A, In Rainbows, The Bends and The King of Limbs also appeared, making the night a cross-decade showcase.

Longtime fans noticed the balance between crowd favorites and less-played numbers. The performance blended radio staples with experimental moments and electronic textures.

Deep cuts and surprise returns

Two selections stood out as genuine rarities. “Subterranean Homesick Alien” returned after a multi-year absence. The band also revived “Sit Down. Stand Up.”, a track they hadn’t played live in many years.

These moments left the audience stunned and highlighted the band’s willingness to revisit less obvious material. The mix created unexpected peaks amid the familiar anthems.

Band perspective: why they decided to hit the road

Band members reunited for rehearsals last year. The sessions rekindled something they all felt was important. Rehearsing after a long pause reminded them of a shared musical identity, and that energy prompted the decision to tour again.

Those rehearsals, initially casual, quickly became the catalyst for scheduling the fall shows.
