Hamlet Hail to the Thief to Run at Barbican in 2026
Based on Radiohead's 2003 album, the Hamlet Hail to the Thief production reworked by Thom Yorke will run at the Barbican Theatre from October 31, 2026, to January 23, 2027.
The production Hamlet Hail To The Thief is based on Radiohead's 2003 album Hail To The Thief and was created by Thom Yorke in collaboration with Steven Hoggett and Christine Jones. Yorke personally reworked the album for a cast of more than 20 musicians and actors, stating that Hamlet was not on their minds when the album was recorded. The show will be staged at the Barbican Theatre between October 31, 2026, and January 23, 2027. The production process led the band to release Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009.
Radiohead announced 21 concerts covering Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney in Australia, as well as Saitama in Japan. Guitarist Ed O’Brien stated that the band plans to continue touring from 2027 onward by playing 20 concerts on a different continent each year. O'Brien also said that the band has not yet spoken about a new album.
