These shows will be the first for Radiohead in North America since spring 2017. Their most recent album, A Moon Shaped Pool, was released in 2016.
Also, on a big day already for soundtracks, Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood announced the release of a new original score for the Lynn Ramsay film You Were Never Really Here, starring Joaquin Phoenix on March 9. This comes as a follow-up to Greenwood's Oscar-nominated score for Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread, and gives fans even more to look forward to this year.
Tickets for Radiohead's 2018 summer tour go on sale Feb. 23 via the band's website.
