Radiohead Launch New Private Limited Company, Sparking Rumours Of Future Activity

Radiohead have registered a new private limited company, which could signal that the band are looking at yet another tour, or a long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool.

All five members of Radiohead have formed a new private limited company, Futile Endeavours Limited, and have been named as its directors.

Usually, this independent structure enables the band to operate without the constraints of a record label or other external companies, giving all members full control over their creative and financial decisions.

Historically, whenever Radiohead form a new private company, it signals that something from the band is on the horizon. Last year, the band formed a new LLM in March, which fans believed hinted at future activity.

Their speculation was rewarded when Radiohead surprised-dropped a new live album featuring recordings of tracks from their 2003 album Hail To The Thief, spanning 2003-2009. The iconic rock group would follow this up by playing several limited shows across Europe towards the end of the year.

If history is to repeat itself again, Radiohead usually plays a limited tour right before releasing a new album. While no new tracks were played on their most recent run, the new private company could signal that the band are gearing up for yet another tour, or perhaps, a follow-up to 2016s A Moon Shaped Pool.

Recently, guitarist Johnny Greenwood told The Times that while everyone in the group was doing “new music elsewhere”, he said it was unusual not to play new tracks.

“It was great to revisit songs that we always felt were good and to find lots of other people now agree with us. And it was really nice to be playing and listening to Thom again,” he’d say. “But I found it strange not to be doing anything new on the tour.”

“I’m surprised that the tour actually happened and that we all enjoyed it so much,” he added. “But venues get booked so far in advance. To do another we would have to decide now, and even then it wouldn’t happen for 18 months.”

For those crestfallen by that 18-month comment, it’s important to note that the last LLM Radiohead open was created in March, 2025, with their European tour starting in October last year. So don’t go marking your calendars, taking these dates as roadmaps for when an eventual tour will take place.

Still, for fans who missed out and were eager to see the band last year, your prayers should hopefully be heard soon.
