Radiohead Set New Record Attendance at The O2
Radiohead broke The O2's attendance record with 22,355 fans on the final night and raised funds for Médecins Sans Frontières and grassroots music venues.
- This past week, Radiohead set a new attendance record at The O2 arena, London, with the final night drawing 22,355 fans and surpassing Metallica’s 2017 record.
- The shows were part of Radiohead’s first tour in seven years, featuring 20 shows in five European cities, with frontman Thom Yorke saying the return felt creatively renewing after the seven-year pause.
- When tickets first went live earlier this year, organisers included a £1 charity levy, directing funds to the LIVE Trust in London and Médecins Sans Frontières across Europe, with Radiohead matching MSF donations and Samaritans collecting onsite at all four London shows.
- Each night drew over 22,200 fans per night, with Christian D’Acuna, Senior Programming Director of The O2, saying the four record-breaking shows will go down in the venue’s history.
- After the London run, Radiohead have eight dates left on their 2025 comeback tour, performing in the round with a 'busking approach' from about 70 songs and a seven-song encore.
