  "account": "Radiohead will embark on their first Australian tour in 15 years, kicking off with a 16-show arena tour in 2027. The concert series, presented by Frontier Touring, will feature the band's members, including Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Philip Selway, and Ed O'Brien, residing in each city for multiple nights. The tour begins with a four-night stand at Perth's RAC Arena, starting May 3, followed by six-show residencies at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena and Sydney's Afterpay Arena, concluding on June 1. This Australian tour marks the band's return since 2012, following several European residencies in late 2025. With speculation around their return building, tickets will be allocated through a registration system that includes both general and accessible tickets. Registration is open now and will close at 5 p.m. AEST on Thursday, September 10. Each ticket will contribute a $2 donation to Greenpeace Australia Pacific and the Australian Marine Conservation Society. Radiohead, an acclaimed rock band from Oxford, England, rose to prominence with hits like \"Creep\" in 1993. The band has achieved four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.",
