After an epic and unstoppable 12 nights on their 2025 tour, Thom Yorke was struck down with an "extreme throat infection," forcing the band to postpone their first two nights in Denmark.

Following a tense wait, the band - completed by Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, Colin Greenwood and Ed O'Brien - returned to the stage for the first of two consecutive nights at Copenhagen's Royal Arena.

As with the previous nights before it, the band treated fans to a 25-track setlist, playing a mix of songs from across their career.
