Radiohead 2025 Tour – UK & Europe

Overview

While some ticket resellers focused on pop or mainstream acts, Radiohead’s 2025 Tour turned out to be a stealth winner. The band’s cult following and years of hiatus created enormous pent-up demand, especially for UK and select European shows. Tickets priced between £50-£75 at retail quickly hit the secondary market for up to £400 in London and £150-£200 across Madrid, Bologna, Copenhagen, and Berlin. Despite lower initial hype, it became one of the most profitable sleeper tours of the year.

How the Flip Played Out

Tour announced mid-September, initially met with mild buzz.

Strong organic demand as hardcore fans and collectors rushed for reunion tickets.

London shows sold out instantly, with resale topping £400 per seat.

European allocations performed strongly: Madrid £150+, Bologna £200+, Berlin £200+, Copenhagen £160+.

Many members underestimated it, proving yet again that low-noise releases can yield top returns.

Final Thoughts

Radiohead’s 2025 Tour shows why not every flip needs maximum hype to deliver maximum returns. A loyal fanbase, limited supply, and years of absence created an ideal storm for resellers paying attention. London performed on par with top-tier pop acts, and European markets held their own, proving that alternative bands can still hit headline-level profits.
