Night Two of the band’s European tour, their first trek in seven years, did not disappoint
Radiohead said they intended on shaking up their set lists each night of their 2025 European tour, their first run in seven years. They weren’t kidding: Their second show in Madrid on Nov. 5 featured a dreamy set list packed with classics, including two rarities.
At Madrid’s Movistar Arena, the band broke out “Jigsaw Falling into Place” and “(Nice Dream),” their first time performing both since 2009, during their In Rainbows tour. “Jigsaw,” released off that album, was the third song of the evening, before other In Rainbows cuts like “All I Need,” “Nude,” and “Reckoner.” As they had on the tour kickoff the previous evening, they also delivered killer renditions of “Bodysnatchers” and “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” making it a more In Rainbows-heavy set on Night Two.
They also went deeper into The Bends on Night Two, performing the title track as the second song, as well as “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” and “Planet Telex.” But nobody was expecting “(Nice Dream),” which they hadn’t played in 16 years. The Bends, the band’s second album, turned 30 years old this year, so it’s possible they bring out other deep cuts on this tour, like “Bones” and “Black Star,” which they haven’t performed since 2006.
Radiohead have two more shows scheduled in Madrid (Nov. 7 and 8), before they head to Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy for four nights. From there, they’ll hit London’s O2 Arena, Copenhagen’s Royal Arena, and Berlin’s Uber Arena, each for four nights, concluding on Dec. 12. Hopefully, they’ll bring these shows to the U.S. next year.
