Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has surprised fans young and old in announcing his first-ever international solo tour, which, luckily for New Zealand fans of the musician, begins in Aotearoa on October 23. Thom Yorke is most widely known as the lead singer and songwriter of experimental rock band Radiohead. The English band formed in 1985 and has gone on to release nine studio albums, selling 30 million records by 2011.
But having last visited New Zealand in 2012 with Radiohead , Yorke is this time returning on his own. As part of his one-man Everything tour, Yorke will draw from his wide body of work to offer a unique glimpse into the music created over the 55-year-old musician’s career. “In the [northern] autumn in New Zealand, Australia , Singapore and Japan I will be alone on stage trying a new kind of solo show thing playing versions of songs from my recent and not so recent past,” Yorke wrote on social media.
Outside of Radiohead’s dramatic success, which has seen the band win six Grammy awards and countless more nominations, Yorke has undertaken several other projects, including developing his own sound. He has released three solo studio albums, The Eraser (2006) , Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes (2014) and Anima (2019) . In the autumn in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Japan I will be alone on stage trying a new kind of solo show thing playing versions of songs from my recent and not so recent past.
