Radiohead - Hail To The Thief: Live Recordings 2003 - 2009

Hail To The Thief: Live Recordings 2003 – 2009 is a live album by British rock band Radiohead, released in October 2025 via XL Recordings.

Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009 - a new live album that allowed the band to re-evaluate their - at times - complicated relationship with their 6th studio album.

Out 14th August digitally, and available to pre-order as a one off pressing for release 31st October, the album comprises performances of songs in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dublin between 2003-2009, mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton.

Speaking about the new live album, Thom Yorke, who recently co-created the critically acclaimed Hamlet Hail to the Thief, a frenetic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, says:

“In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet / Hail To The Thief theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs. I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”

This album is an indies exclusive edition on red coloured vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with silver foil and mirror board finish and a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via XL Recordings.
