This year’s live music calendar is buzzing with excitement thanks to a dazzling lineup that’s captivated fans worldwide. At the center of it all is Radiohead, who are embarking on one of the most ambitious global tours in recent memory. After hinting at their return over the past year, the band has confirmed a sprawling set of performances that will take their unique sound from packed arenas in North America through historic European venues and beyond, reconnecting with audiences who have waited eagerly for new live experiences after years away from the road.
In a spectacular twist for 2026, the tour narrative expands with the inclusion of visionary Icelandic artist Björk, whose work pushes the boundaries of electronic and experimental pop. While official standalone dates for Björk’s own tour schedule are not currently listed on major ticketing platforms, insiders and industry buzz have linked her creative projects — particularly those surrounding her immersive Echolalia exhibition — to collaborative live appearances alongside Radiohead, blending her avant-garde aesthetic with the band’s emotive landscapes in select cultural capitals.
Meanwhile, fans of electronic innovation might be checking their calendars for Aphex Twin, the influential producer whose boundary-pushing sound has been a touchstone for generations of artists. At the moment, major concert trackers list no scheduled tour dates for Aphex Twin in 2026, suggesting that he may be taking a quieter year from the road or focusing on studio work instead. Nevertheless, his enduring influence and the anticipation around any surprise appearances remain a constant talking point in electronic music communities.
What this all adds up to is a breathtaking series of live shows that promise to define the summer and autumn months for music lovers. The combined Radiohead + Björk itinerary spans numerous continents and iconic cities — from London and Paris to Los Angeles, Tokyo, Sydney and São Paulo — with performances running through May, June, July, August and into late 2026, giving fans around the world ample opportunity to experience these artists in unforgettable settings.
