Radiohead<\/a> have announced their first tour in seven years after mysterious flyers reportedly appeared in several European cities this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lead singer Thom Yorke<\/a> and the band will tour through Europe from November to December, with four nights each in London, Berlin, Madrid, Bologna, and Copenhagen. <\/p>\n In a message to fans, the band\u2019s drummer Philip Selway said: \u201cLast year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us.<\/p>\n \u201cIt also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now, it will just be these ones but who knows where this will all lead.\u201d<\/p>\n Hopeful fans will have to pre-register on Radiohead\u2019s website<\/a> to be in with a chance of buying tickets, a move intended to \u201creduce competition from bots and ticket touts\u201d.<\/p>\n Registration opens at 10am BST on Friday 5 September and will close 72 hours later at 10pm BST on Sunday 7 September. Fans will find out whether they have received an unlock code by 10pm on Wednesday 10 September.<\/p>\n Each person will be able to buy a maximum of four tickets for one show. The greater share of tickets will be apportioned to fans living nearer the shows, which the band illustrated on a map<\/a>.<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Radiohead will tour for the first time in seven years, the band has announced (PA)<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be allocations for those who wish to travel inside Europe and for those outside Europe,\u201d the band said. \u201cOur aim is to distribute tickets according to demand in a fair and geographically convenient way.\u201d<\/p>\n The band also revealed that UK ticket prices will include a \u00a31 levy to support the Live Trust initiative to raise funds for struggling grassroots venues.
