The announcement of Radiohead and Aphex Twin joining forces for a global tour titled THE UNSTABLE SIGNAL has sent shockwaves through the music world. Two of the most influential and boundary-pushing forces in modern music are finally sharing the same stage, promising a live experience that blurs the line between human emotion and machine-driven chaos. Fans have long imagined what a collaboration between Radiohead’s introspective art-rock and Aphex Twin’s unpredictable electronic mastery might sound like, and this tour is set to answer that question in the most immersive way possible.
Rather than a traditional co-headlining setup, THE UNSTABLE SIGNAL is designed as a continuous audiovisual journey. Sets are expected to flow seamlessly between Radiohead’s reworked classics, abstract electronic interludes from Aphex Twin, and never-before-heard collaborative pieces built specifically for the tour. Early reports suggest heavy use of generative visuals, modular synths, and real-time audio manipulation, ensuring that no two shows will sound exactly the same.
The tour concept leans into themes of digital anxiety, fractured reality, and technological evolution—ideas that have long defined both artists’ work. Massive LED installations, glitch-driven projections, and minimal lighting will create an unsettling yet hypnotic atmosphere. Longtime fans can expect deep cuts, radical reinterpretations of familiar tracks, and moments of pure sonic disorientation that challenge the very idea of a “concert.”
Dates and cities for THE UNSTABLE SIGNAL tour have officially been revealed, with the journey set to span major cultural capitals across the globe. The tour kicks off in Tokyo, followed by Seoul, Berlin, Paris, London, Reykjavík, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo, before concluding with a final, highly anticipated performance in Sydney. Each location was carefully selected to reflect the tour’s global and experimental identity.
With anticipation at an all-time high, THE UNSTABLE SIGNAL is already being described as one of the most ambitious live music events of the decade. More than a tour, it represents a collision of ideas, eras, and technologies that redefine what live performance can be, officially set to unfold across the world in 2026.
