    Radiohead may be set to perform their unused James Bond theme Spectre in full

    The Oxford band - whose members include Thom Yorke, 56, Jonny Greenwood, 53, Ed O'Brien, 57, Philip Selway, 58, and Colin Greenwood, 56 - are returning to the stage later this year for their first shows in seven years, and will play across five cities from November, beginning in London on the 21st of that month


    Speaking about the long-rumoured Bond track making the setlist for the shows, Colin told the Daily Star: "I'd love to play the song Spectre. We did it in America for A Moon Shaped Pool, Thom played it on the Rhodes keyboard.

    "But I want to play it as a full band type thing, a la Paul McCartney Live and Let Die - there's a massive bit in the middle."

    The upcoming Radiohead shows mark three decades since the release of the band's 1995 second album The Bends, although Colin said fans should not expect the record to be played in its entirety.

    He also told the Adam Buxton podcast the group's setlist would not follow a rigid format.

    The bassist said: "It's going to be a mixed set, we've whittled it down to 70 songs and me and my brother (Jonny) are not on the setlist committee. We're not allowed - because we are too indecisive!"

    Colin added the upcoming concerts would take inspiration from the band's brief jam session in the summer of 2024.

    He said: "We are going to take what we did in the summer of '24 when we did that jam. We're not doing many rehearsals either, so it all seems quite sort of relaxed.

    "We will play anything in any order at any time. We take a busking attitude to the Radiohead setlist.

    "We are playing everything - stuff from the first record right through to now.

    "It's going to be the first time we've done shows where we haven't got new material as work in progress. But you never know - stuff might come up or whatever."

    Discussing the structure of the run, Colin described the residency-style shows as "a bit Sinatra-esque". He also confirmed that, as on previous tours, they would feature two drummers.

    He said: "Phil is working on it at the moment - it's great for me because I get to check in what each of them are doing, I can wander over and Phil loves it because I can stop hassling him."
