An Evening of Radiohead 2025 officially concluded last month, we performed our last show in Glasgow Cathedral on Saturday the 19th of July, marking the end of a 6 month tour. Here are some interesting stats I’ve stolen some from our wonderful Chris Buckle, who worked them out meticulously over the course of the tour:
We’ve played to 28,000 Radiohead fans, driven a collective 70,000 miles around the country, eaten circa 460 bourbons, drank circa 23 litres of oat milk, performed 39 different Radiohead songs, performed a total of 864 songs across the tour, played 12 encores, played 2 encore encores, played Creep twice.
From my perspective on sound, the tour has been a massive success. Investment in more delay speakers for our bespoke sound system, and a Waves SuperRack SoundGrid to accompany my humble SQ-5, have helped us reach another sonic level and make the show punchier than ever.
There’s a huge amount of preparation going on behind the scenes for our next tour, ‘An Evening of Pink Floyd’, which begins at the end of August in Derby. For my part, I’m preparing the desk and Waves system at home. We’re using all 48 inputs to the SQ this time round. I’ve also got 62 channels running through the Waves SoundGrid, including sends/returns and processing groups.
A short while ago, we recorded a cover of ‘Time’ to give people an idea of what to expect from An Evening of Pink Floyd. It was filmed by Mark Lamin, orchestrated by Ewan Steady, mastered by George Shilling, and oh – recorded and mixed by me! Please take a listen, and I hope you enjoy.
If you’re interested in coming to see the show, search it out – we’re probably coming to a Cathedral near you.
