Radiohead Sets New O2 Attendance Record With Four Sold-Out London Nights

The residency now shifts to Copenhagen and Berlin with rotating setlists and in-the-round staging.

Overview

  • Each London show on Nov. 21, 22, 24 and 25 surpassed the previous night’s turnout, culminating in a venue-record 22,355 on the final night, according to The O2.
  • The run topped a benchmark previously held by Metallica, with nightly attendances exceeding 22,200 across all four sold-out dates.
  • Tickets carried a €1/£1 charity levy that directed funds to the LIVE Trust in London and to Médecins Sans Frontières across Europe, with Radiohead reported to match the MSF amount.
  • Samaritans volunteers collected donations at all four O2 shows after drummer Philip Selway highlighted the charity’s suicide-prevention work.
  • The comeback tour, the band’s first U.K. dates in seven years, features multi-night European residencies and a ‘busking’ approach that rotates through a broad, career-spanning setlist pool.
