Radiohead are as much as one thing new, however we don’t know what but.
On March tenth, the beloved English band’s 5 members — Colin Greenwood, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Philip Selway, and Thom Yorke — all grew to become companions of a brand new restricted legal responsibility partnership (LLP) dubbed, “RHEUK25 LLP,” a transfer mirroring LLPs the band has made to help varied endeavors up to now.
In 2021, Radiohead employed the LLP, “Spin With a Grin”, to assist launch the Child A and Amnesiac reissue, Child A Mnseia. Previous to that, they used LLPs to drop their 2016 album A Moon Formed Pool, their 2011 album The King of Limbs, 2007’s In Rainbows, and extra, together with different undertakings, like excursions.
So, even when we don’t know what it’s, it’s protected to imagine that Radiohead is as much as one thing, which is fairly thrilling contemplating the combined alerts the band’s members have given up to now concerning any future exercise. Final yr, Yorke mentioned he didn’t “actually give a flying fuck” if followers need the band to reconvene, and Jonny Greenwood mentioned the band had “no plans” for 2025.
However now, with an LLP identify like “RHEUK25,” some followers are guessing {that a} UK/European tour is perhaps within the works, which might mark Radiohead’s first main outing since 2018. Since then, the band members have saved themselves busy a number of ventures, with Yorke and Jonny Greenwood releasing music and touring with their new group, The Smile. It’s price noting that Colin Greenwood is presently touring with Nick Cave and the Dangerous Seeds by August, so any potential Radiohead outing would doubtless happen later within the yr.
