Tokyo’s Summer Sonic Festival has sparked global speculation that Radiohead could headline its 2027 edition after teasing the band during the current festival weekend.
Radiohead returned to live performance in late 2025 following seven years away, playing four-night residencies across European cities.
Guitarist Ed O’Brien recently discussed the prospect of playing limited annual runs of approximately twenty dates worldwide, making an Asian festival headline appearance in 2027 highly plausible.
