Everything was a 2024 solo concert tour by the English musician Thom Yorke. Yorke played a variety of music from his solo projects and his bands Radiohead, Atoms for Peace and the Smile. The tour encompassed Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore, and comprised 18 shows between 23 October and 26 November.
Background
Yorke announced the tour on 2 June 2024.{{cite news |last1=DeVille |first1=Chris |title=Thom Yorke Announces Solo Tour Of New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, & Japan |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2266098/thom-yorke-announces-solo-tour-of-new-zealand-australia-singapore-japan/news/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Stereogum |date=2 June 2024 |language=en}} He said he would be "alone on stage trying a new kind of solo show thing playing versions of songs from my recent and not so recent past". Yorke said the tour was named "Everything" as to not put limits on songs he could play. The tour began on 25 October 2024 in Auckland, New Zealand.{{cite news |last1=Dillane |first1=Tom |date=24 October 2024 |title='I hate working alone': Thom Yorke defies his nature for stunning Auckland solo show |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/thom-yorke-at-spark-arena-radiohead-frontmans-everything-tour-is-more-than-a-broad-retrospective/5PQKHC65JNCE7KEQOOLB4NBZLA/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=The New Zealand Herald |language=en-NZ}}

Yorke performed "stripped-back" arrangements of songs from his solo records and his bands Radiohead, Atoms for Peace and the Smile.{{cite news |last1=Singh |first1=Chris |title=Thom Yorke was the scariest thing in Sydney this Halloween |url=https://www.theaureview.com/music/thom-yorke-was-the-scariest-thing-in-sydney-this-halloween/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=The AU Review |date=3 November 2024 |language=en-AU}} He used a variety of synthesisers, guitars, mixers and microphones, moving between them as he played.{{cite news |last1=Walters |first1=Tammy |title=Thom Yorke takes audiences on a transcendent tour of his expansive catalogue at first Melbourne show |url=https://fortemag.com.au/thom-yorke-takes-audiences-on-a-transcendent-tour-of-his-expansive-catalogue-at-first-melbourne-show/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Forte Magazine |date=30 October 2024 |language=en-AU}} Yorke debuted a new song, "Back in the Game", which was created with English electronic musician Mark Pritchard.{{cite news |last1=Kreps |first1=Daniel |title=Hear Thom Yorke Team With Mark Pritchard for New Song 'Back in the Game' |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/thom-yorke-mark-pritchard-new-song-back-in-the-game-1235266085/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Rolling Stone |date=13 February 2025}} The song features an "anxiety-inducing synth beat" with digitally distorted vocals.{{cite news |last1=Duran |first1=Anagricel |title=Listen to Thom Yorke and Mark Pritchard's eerie new collab 'Back In The Game' on WARP Records |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-thom-yorke-and-mark-pritchards-eerie-new-collab-back-in-the-game-on-warp-records-3837789 |access-date=1 March 2025 |work=NME |date=13 February 2025}}
Tammy Walters of Forte said the tour highlighted Yorke's flexibility in both vocals and instrumentation. Writing for Rolling Stone Australia, James Jennings gave a performance at the Sydney Opera House two and a half out of five, praising Yorke's vocals but writing that the "patchy selection of songs doesn't quite gel into a cohesive, satisfying whole".{{cite news |last1=Jennings |first1=James |date=3 November 2024 |title=Thom Yorke: solo tour proves that Radiohead is his best work |url=https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-live-reviews/thom-yorke-sydney-australia-tour-live-review-68614/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Rolling Stone Australia |language=en-AU}}
On 30 October, during Yorke's last performance in Melbourne, a pro-Palestine protester interrupted the show close to its conclusion.{{cite news |last1=Jefferson |first1=Dee |title=Thom Yorke walks off stage after being heckled by pro-Palestine protester at Melbourne concert |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/oct/31/thom-yorke-walks-off-stage-after-being-heckled-by-pro-palestine-heckler-at-melbourne-concert |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=The Guardian |date=31 October 2024}} Yorke asked the protester to come up on stage in response, calling him a coward and asking if he wanted to "piss on everybody's night?"{{cite news |last1=Lewry |first1=Fraser |title=Video shows Thom Yorke challenging pro-Palestine heckler before walking offstage |url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/thom-yorke-confronts-heckler |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Louder Sound |date=31 October 2024 |language=en}} Yorke then walked off-stage.{{cite news |last1=Kaufman |first1=Gil |title=Radiohead's Thom Yorke Walks Off Stage At Solo Show After Confronting Heckler Over Israel-Hamas War: 'See You Later Then' |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/thom-yorke-leaves-stage-solo-show-melbourne-confrontation-israel-hamas-war-heckler-1235816311/ |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Billboard |date=31 October 2024}} He returned a few minutes later to play a final song. Yorke and Radiohead had previously been criticised for playing in Tel Aviv in 2017, in defiance of a boycott arranged by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.{{cite news |last1=Strauss |first1=Matthew |title=Thom Yorke Leaves Stage in Response to Pro-Palestine Protestor |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/radiohead-the-smile-thom-yorke-leaves-stage-in-response-to-pro-palestine-protestor/ |access-date=28 February 2025 |work=Pitchfork |date=31 October 2024}}{{cite news |last1=O'Connor |first1=Roisin |title=Thom Yorke walks offstage after being confronted by pro-Palestine protester |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/thom-yorke-melbourne-gaza-palestine-fan-israel-b2638816.html |access-date=28 February 2025 |work=The Independent |date=31 October 2024 |language=en}} Yorke called the criticism "patronising" and "offensive".{{cite news |last1=Blais-Billie |first1=Braudie |title=Radiohead Play Longest Set in 11 Years at Controversial Israel Show |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/radiohead-play-longest-set-in-11-years-at-controversial-israel-show/ |access-date=28 February 2025 |work=Pitchfork |date=20 July 2017}}
