Band history and comeback

Drummer Philip Selway reported that the band got together for rehearsals last year, which was a positive experience for the members. After a seven-year break, it was easy to play the old songs again. Radiohead's more recent developments include The Smile project, launched in 2022 by singer Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood. This project toured North America in 2023 in support of their debut album “A Light For Attracting Attention,” released the same year. This tour, which took place in larger locations than the previous showcase tour, kicked off in Mexico City on June 22, 2023 and included several major cities in the United States.

However, in July 2024, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood had to cancel planned European concerts due to Greenwood's illness, who was temporarily treated in intensive care due to health problems.

Influence of rock music

Radiohead is part of a long tradition of rock music that has existed since the 1950s. This developed from rock 'n' roll, a mixture of country and rhythm and blues, and was influenced by artists such as Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. Rock music has developed through various youth cultures and plays a central role in the identity of many generations. In the 1990s, rock music experienced a period of grace with new movements such as grunge and Britpop, with bands such as Nirvana and Oasis dominating the musical landscape.

The band Radiohead has also contributed to the development of new sub-genres through their innovative fusion of rock with electronic elements. Their unique sonic aesthetic has not only influenced rock music, but also reinforced the connection between rock and its origins as well as its ever-changing styles.

There are exciting months ahead for Radiohead fans, with concerts that will both evoke nostalgic memories of past successes and offer a glimpse into the band's future.
