Pop-Up Stores For Thom Yorke's 'Everything' Australian Tour Announced

Radiohead frontman and solo artist Thom Yorke is heading down under for his first-ever solo tour of Australia this month. To celebrate, there will be two special pop-up stores where fans can buy vinyl and merchandise.

The pop-up shops will be held in Melbourne and Sydney on Saturday, 26 October, in anticipation of Yorke’s sold-out everything tour. Both stores will run concurrently from 10 am to 5 pm at Honey Bones Gallery, Brunswick, Melbourne, and China Heights Gallery, Surry Hills, Sydney.

What can fans expect from the pop-up stores? Only the most in-demand collectibles for fans of Thom Yorke’s solo work, Radiohead and The Smile (his latest musical project with Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner). Here’s what will be available at the stores:

• Limited edition, never-before pressed to vinyl of Thom Yorke – Live From Electric Lady Studios

• Five exclusive limited-edition t-shirts

• Tour zine

• Posters

• Record bags

• Sticker sheets

• The Smile merchandise surrounding new LP Cutouts

• Limited-edition purple Cutouts cassette

• Don’t Get Me Started 12” vinyl

• Wall Of Eyes merchandise (The Smile)

• Thom Yorke and Radiohead CDs and LPs

A press release states that the limited edition items will be available at both stores until they are sold out.

For the everything tour, Yorke will perform songs from throughout his expansive career. He described the shows as follows: “In the autumn in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and Japan, I will be alone on stage trying a new kind of solo show thing, playing versions of songs from my recent and not-so-recent past.”

Thom Yorke’s Australian shows take place at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl (Tuesday, 29, and Wednesday, 30 October) and the Sydney Opera House Forecourt (Friday, 1, and Saturday, 2 November). 

In addition to his work with Radiohead, Yorke has released three solo albums, including 2019’s ANIMA.

He’s released an album under the moniker Atoms For Peace with Flea and longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich. He also released three albums with The Smile, including this month’s surprise LP, Cutouts, which followed January’s Wall Of Eyes.

Yorke has also composed film soundtracks, including 2018’s Suspiria and, more recently, this year’s Confidenza.

Radiohead’s most recent album, A Moon Shaped Pool, was released in 2016. Radiohead last toured Australia in November 2012.
