Setlist and Encores: Here’s what Radiohead are playing at their first shows in seven years

Radiohead’s first show in seven years, check out the full setlist and encores – plus Radiohead setlist variants (A/B/C types)

After a seven-year silence, Radiohead have finally returned to the stage,  and they did it with the kind of grace and unease only they can pull off.

Kicking off a run of four-night residencies across Europe, the band played Madrid’s Movistar Arena on Monday night (Nov 4), revisiting every corner of their career with a setlist that reminded fans just how much they’ve missed the Oxfordshire five-piece.

The night opened with the shimmering ‘Let Down,’ a track that’s enjoyed a viral renaissance in recent years. From there, the band dipped into Hail to the Thief for a rare ‘Sit Down Stand Up’ (not played since 2004), alongside cuts from Kid A, In Rainbows, and A Moon Shaped Pool.

The encore was a love letter to their legacy, ‘Fake Plastic Trees,’ ‘Paranoid Android,’ and ‘Karma Police’ closing the night on a gut-punch of nostalgia.

Circular stage, circular history, Radiohead are back, and the world feels a little more interesting again.

Radiohead’s Bologna setlist leaned deep into the eerie and emotional, weaving fan-favourite cuts with a few curveballs that reminded everyone just how quietly devastating they can be on stage.

Compared to recent shows, it was almost identical to their Madrid night 3 set, with no tour debuts and fewer rotations than earlier nights, suggesting a more settled lineup.

Still, fans now suspect there’s a handful of Radiohead setlist variants (A/B/C types) rather than completely random picks each night.
