Radiohead’s last new studio album was A Moon Shaped Pool , released in 2016, so it has been about 10 years with no new Radiohead studio album as of July 2026. That is the clearest answer, though the band has kept generating side projects, solo work, and occasional updates since then.
What counts as “new music”
If you mean a full Radiohead release, the gap runs from 2016 to now, which is roughly a decade. If you mean any newly released material tied to the band’s members, that’s a different question, because Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Philip Selway, and Colin Greenwood have all done other work in the meantime.
Why the gap feels longer
Part of the reason the silence feels so big is that Radiohead’s output was already irregular before 2016. The band also tends to work slowly and separately, so long stretches without an album do not necessarily mean they have broken up. Public comments in 2026 suggested they had not even talked seriously about another record yet, which points to a continuing pause rather than an imminent release.
The status now
There have been signs of activity around the band, including live performance and renewed public attention, but no confirmed new Radiohead studio album has been announced. So the best concise answer is: it has been about 10 years since their last new album, and there is still no confirmed follow-up.
