How long is Radiohead's 2025 set?

Radiohead's average set length during their 2025 tour has be 2 and a half hours, but can we expect any special treatment in London? Their first two nights The O2 didn't yield any surprises, but will we get any special treatment as the band's UK dates roll on? Only time will tell...

How many songs do Radiohead play in their 2025 set?

So far, Radiohead have treated their fans to a 25-track setlist, including a mix of tracks from across their career. According to super-fans, the band have played 43 of their songs so far, BUT they've previously revealed that they rehearsed up to 70 tracks, meaning that there still could be many more tracks and surprises to come.

On a selection of earlier dates, there have been some treats from the band, with Radiohead playing Subterranean Homesick Alien and Planet Telex for the first time since 2017 and treating fans to Just for the first time since 2009.

Eagle-eyed Radiohead boffs have looked at the stats so you don't have to with a detailed graphic every song the band have played on their tour so far, what order it has been played on the setlist and what album it comes from. See the latest update here.

Coming back to the UK and indeed London, it stands to reason that the band would use shows in their home country as an opportunity to dust off some more songs they've rehearsed in their discography. It wasn't the case on night one or two at The O2, but watch this space...

Will Radiohead play in the round in London?

Yes, as with all the dates on their 2025 tour, Radiohead are performing 'in the round' in a cage-type structure with LED screens placed high above them, hopefully giving fans from all vantage points a decent view. Again, Radiohead fans are pretty on it and some have even compiled a diagram of where to expect the band to stand and perform during the night.

When is the curfew for Radiohead's The O2 London?

Radiohead's shows have been approximately 2.5 hours so far, so with the show kicking off at 8.30pm, we can expect Radiohead to be done and dusted by 11pm. This is typically the latest that shows at The O2 close on weekdays, so if the band were to play extra songs, they may have to start earlier or risk pushing back the curfew. Fans on Reddit have threads have reported that the London shows were over by 10.40pm
