Radiohead have announced a 21-date run of shows in Australia and Japan for 2027, marking the band’s first Australian appearances since November 2012 and its first headline dates in Japan since October 2008, though the group played Japan’s Summersonic Festival in 2016.

The tour includes multiple nights at RAC Arena in Perth, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and Sydney’s Afterpay Arena in May, followed by shows at GMO Arena in Saitama, Japan, in June. The dates follow a series of European residencies the band played in November and December of the previous year.

Tickets will be available only through registration at radiohead.com, with Frontier Touring handling Australian sales and eplus handling Japan, a measure the announcement says is intended to limit access by scalpers and bots. Registration opened September 7.

Raleigh, N.C. band Jack The Radio has released a reprised recording of “Warbirds,” a track from its 2024 album Under Lonely Light. The new version, recorded live and mixed by Danny Johnson in Raleigh, returns to the darker tone of the song’s earliest demos, according to the band.

The recording anchors a new split 7-inch vinyl release paired with “Till Tomorrow” by Winston-Salem act Crenshaw Pentecostal. Cover art is by George Hage, who said the bands had long wanted to collaborate on a split record and that the down-tempo re-recording of “Warbirds” shaped the cover concept.

The two bands will play release shows together on September 12 at Slim’s in Raleigh as part of Hopscotch Music Festival, and on September 25 at Gas Hill at the Ramkat in Winston-Salem.
