The Radiohead side project – comprising Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Sons Of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner – announced their UK and European tour back in November, alongside their new album ‘Wall Of Eyes‘.
The band are due to kick off the tour at Dublin’s 3Arena on March 7 and play dates in Brighton, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham before finishing up with a show at London’s Alexandra Palace on March 23.
They’ve now added a second London show at the Eventim Apollo on Sunday, March 10 due to “exceptional demand”.

The Smile’s second album ‘Wall Of Eyes’ is out Friday, which NME described in four-star review as a “masterclass in pushing rock forward”, adding that it features “some of their best work since ‘In Rainbows’”.
It added: “Where previously the comparisons to their Radiohead catalogue could warp expectations, the breadth of the material on offer here suggest that it could, eventually, flip that dynamic right on its head.”
Reviewing The Smile live in New York City in 2022, NME described the show as an “expansive and dazzling spectacle”. The five-star write-up concluded: “Much like their very first show, The Smile emerges at Kings Theatre spectacularly.”
In other Radiohead news, Philip Selway recently hinted at the idea that the band are “coming back around to that point” of returning and reuniting.
