Radiohead appear to confirm first tour in years after ticket donation sparks rumors
Rumors of the first Radiohead tour in seven years are heating up after it was revealed several tickets to a 'Radiohead concert of your choice' were recently donated to a charity auction by the band's management. The acclaimed British rock band last toured in 2018, and last released new music with their ninth album A Moon Shaped Pool in 2016. Resident Advisor reports that four Radiohead tickets to an upcoming tour were donated to a Los Angeles fire relief auction run by Palisades High School, apparently by the band's management. The auction listing noted that the highest bidder can select their preferred city and date 'based on the band's tour schedule.' The publication went on to claim that a source close to the group has confirmed the band have placed holds at venues in a number of European cities for a run of residency gigs this autumn. Earlier this week, Pitchfork reported that the band's five members — singer Thom Yorke, guitarist Jonny Greenwood, bassist Colin Greenwood, guitarist Ed O'Brien and drummer Philip Selway — have recently formed a new business as a limited liability partnership, RHEUK25 LLP. Similar business partnerships have been formed by the band in the past, as they operate outside of the record label system. In 2016, they formed Dawn Chorus LLP shortly before announcing the release of A Moon Shaped Pool. In the time since the band last toured, many of the members have been busy with solo projects. In October last year, Yorke walked offstage after being heckled by a pro-Palestine protester during a solo show in Melbourne. Footage filmed by a member of the audience showed a man in the crowd yelling at Yorke about the ' Israeli genocide of Gaza ' and the death toll, half of whom he said, 'were children'. Yorke could be seen standing and listening before he told the heckler to 'hop up on stage' to make his remarks. Yorke and his Radiohead bandmates have come under scrutiny in the past over their decision to continue performing in Israel. Last September, Colin Greenwood revealed that Radiohead had recently reunited in the studio to rehearse some of their old songs. During an appearance at the Hay Festival Querétaro in Mexico via video call, the bassist said: 'We did some rehearsals about two months ago in London, just to play the old songs. And it was really fun, had a really good time.'

Gaffe: New nightclub opens in Wandsworth Road after council drops objection
South London has a new 150 person nightclub after a council dropped its objections to the venue. Gaffe, also known as Commune Studios, off Wandsworth Road will be able to open until 3.20am on Fridays and Saturdays going forwards. The venue, which describes itself as 'a new home for the heads' on Instagram, will hold club nights on weekends and be rented out for activities like DJ workshops and birthday parties the rest of the time. DJs including Hodge, Parris and Seb Odyssey are expected to play at the club over the next month, according to listings platform Resident Advisor. Luca Marchal, the man behind the club, told a Lambeth Council licensing meeting that he wanted to create a permanent space where artists could perform, after successfully hosting a limited number of events at the venue in 2024. Speaking on Tuesday (January 28), he said: 'It's a place where… the LGBT+ community have [sic] found a safe haven for expression and where photographers and film-makers are building their portfolios. 'We've had to turn away so many incredible events due to our limited licence which just shows how much South London needs cultural venues like this, especially when they're disappearing at an unprecedented rate across the UK.' After the club's bid to open permanently was blocked by councillors in 2024, Mr Marchal brought back the application to the council with extra security measures including ID scanning and beefed up security. Hannah McInerney, a promoter who held sober rave Club Soft at Gaffe in November last year, told the meeting that attendees reported they had 'never felt so safe' in a venue. She added: 'I was really impressed with the soundproofing. I stood outside the venue and I thought you could barely hear anything. […] It's clear that the Communal [sic] Studios team have been very thoughtful at ensuring the venue had [has] minimal impact on the surrounding area.' One resident, whose flat is next to railway arches where the club is located, said he had some noise concerns and complained there was broken glass on the floor the day after events. Councillors David Robson, Sarina da Silva and Adrian Garden approved the application with conditions, including that the venue provides a 'safe space' for customers and passers-by during its opening hours. Cllr Robson, chair of the committee, said: 'The applicant has taken time to submit a well thought out application and was satisfied the business model put forward and license conditions will promote the licensing objectives.'
