Radiohead Australia Japan 2027 Tour Dates Confirmed With Ticket Prices

The Radiohead Australia Japan 2027 tour, covering 21 dates across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Saitama, represents the band’s most ambitious live commitment since its reunion began in late 2025, and the first time it has played either country in more than a decade. According to Radiohead.com, standing tickets are priced at $199 AUD inclusive of fees, with seated options ranging from $139 to $349 AUD.

The Full Radiohead Australia Japan 2027 Schedule

The run opens on 3 May at RAC Arena in Perth, where the band plays four nights across two weekends, before moving to Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne for six shows spread through mid-May. Sydney follows, with ten nights at Afterpay Arena across the final week of May and the first of June. Japan closes the tour: four dates at GMO Arena in Saitama between 8 and 13 June, the country’s first Radiohead shows since the band headlined there in 2008, with the exception of an appearance at the Summer Sonic Festival in 2016. Australia has been waiting considerably longer: the last tour dates there came in November 2012.

The band has confirmed there will be no further 2027 dates beyond this run, though it says it hopes to ‘do more shows elsewhere in the future.’

Ballot and Registration Details

For Australian fans, the practicalities of securing a ticket carry their own deadline pressure. According to ABC News, registration for general tickets closes at 5pm AEST on Thursday, 10 September. Standing tickets are $199 AUD inclusive of fees; seated tickets range from $139 to $349 AUD. The pricing structure means the tour occupies a premium bracket, though the gap between the floor and the upper seated tier is considerable.

The Shape of a Reunion

These dates follow the European run that brought Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Philip Selway back together in November and December 2025, after a seven-year hiatus from touring. Across those 20 shows the group rotated 45 different songs, a breadth that suggested a band working through its back catalogue with something close to pleasure rather than obligation. The setlist rotation will be watched closely in Australia and Japan, where audiences have been denied the chance to see any of that material played live for so long.

The reunion has extended well beyond concerts. Radiohead’s Motion Picture House featuring KID A MNESIA debuted at Coachella in April, housed inside a purpose-built underground bunker, before the installation moved to Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City and San Francisco. The project transformed the artwork, studio ephemera and music of Kid A and Amnesiac into a physical audiovisual experience built around a 75-minute film, giving the band a way to re-engage audiences with that period of its catalogue outside the concert hall entirely.

The Radiohead Australia Japan 2027 run, then, is not a straightforward stadium tour: it arrives at the end of a reunion that has been deliberately shaped, paced and varied in its forms. Sixteen Australian shows across three cities over five weeks, and five Japanese nights in Saitama, constitute a concentrated burst rather than a sprawling world tour. Whether further territories follow in 2028 remains, for now, an open question the band has declined to answer beyond that single hopeful sentence.

Ticket registration for the Australian leg closes at 5pm AEST on 10 September. Full details and on-sale information are available at Radiohead.com.
