## Radiohead Sets New O2 Attendance Record
After four sensational sold-out shows at The O2 in London, Radiohead officially set a new all-time attendance record for the arena, surpassing the previous high mark held by a hard rock band. Each performance drew more than 22,200 fans, with the final night peaking at 22,355 attendees, which pushed the group into the venue’s history books.
### Details of the Record
The four reunion concerts took place on November 21, 22, 24 and 25, filling The O2 to capacity on every date. According to the venue, these shows collectively broke the existing attendance records night after night, underscoring the sustained demand for the band’s return to large arenas.
> “These past four record-breaking nights will go down in the venue's history, with Radiohead breaking the attendance records each night,” said Christian D’Acuna, senior programming director at The O2.
Venue representatives emphasized that hosting the band was a major milestone, highlighting that each show featured a unique setlist that explored their extensive back catalogue.
### Context of the Reunion Tour
Radiohead’s O2 run is part of a broader European reunion tour that began earlier in November in Madrid. The itinerary includes stops across several major cities, including Bologna, Copenhagen and Berlin, signaling a full-scale return to live performance after years away from the road.
Fans have treated the London dates as a centerpiece of this comeback, with the sold-out status and broken attendance records reflecting how strongly audiences responded to the band’s return to the stage.
