Radiohead's official site says the announced dates are their only shows of 2027, strongly weighing against Glastonbury, although Ed O'Brien had previously spoken positively about a return.
Why they're ruled out
Radiohead say Australia and Japan dates are their only shows of 2027
Radiohead have officially announced 21 shows in Australia and Japan for May and June 2027, ending with five Saitama dates through 13 June. More significantly, the band's official tour FAQ states that no extra dates will be announced and that these are the only shows Radiohead will play in 2027. This materially strengthens Ed O'Brien's earlier description of a region-focused touring strategy and is direct official evidence against a Glastonbury 2027 appearance. Plans could theoretically change, and O'Brien's earlier positive comments about returning to Glastonbury remain separate evidence, but on the band's current stated schedule a Worthy Farm appearance is strongly disfavoured.

Ed O'Brien says Radiohead "would" return to Glastonbury when asked about 2027
Asked directly whether Radiohead could return to Glastonbury in 2027 for the 30th anniversary of their celebrated 1997 Pyramid headline set, Ed O'Brien replied that he thought they would and said it was about "getting the timing right". The comments demonstrate direct interest in a 2027 return but do not indicate that Radiohead are booked or in negotiations.
