Singer Thom Yorke has been captivating audiences during his solo Everything tour, which has seen him delve into a wide range of tracks from both his solo career and the extensive Radiohead discography. Recently, at a concert in Auckland, New Zealand, Yorke surprised fans by performing “Sail to the Moon,” marking its first live rendition in over 16 years.
This nostalgic return to the stage for the beloved track from the album Hail to the Thief underscores Yorke’s connection to his past performances.

Yorke’s tour has highlighted a variety of rare and long-forgotten tracks, including the opening song from Hail to the Thief, “Packt Like Sardines in Crushd Tin Box,” which he played live for the first time in a dozen years at the tour’s opening night. Looking ahead, he plans to reinterpret Hail to the Thief in a unique production titled Hamlet Hail to the Thief, scheduled for June 2025.
Staying true to the theme of the tour, Yorke has been exploring various facets of his musical repertoire, including debuting his contribution to the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack, “Hearing Damage,” and a new song called “Back in the Game.” These performances emphasize the tour’s comprehensive approach, showcasing a blend of established hits and fresh material.
