Radiohead are coming to New Zealand in November - or at least that's the rumour flying around Auckland.

The award-winning, ground-breaking English band have not played in New Zealand since 1998, but according to local musician Connan Mockasin, Thom Yorke and the boys will be back on a New Zealand stage before the year is out.

The psychedelic pop star tweeted he wouldn't be coming home for the Camp A Low Hum music festival in February, but would be back with Radiohead in tow.

"I won't be coming home for camp [A Low Hum] but will be with Radiohead later in the year."

Host of 95bFM's Morning Glory radio show, Charlotte Ryan, fuelled the fire further this morning saying an industry insider had confirmed Radiohead will be coming to New Zealand in November.

The band have announced a 2012 World Tour, with dates scheduled only up until July.

In recent interviews, Radiohead have said the shows will mainly feature songs from their recent album, The King of Limbs, rather than older material.

Radiohead were heavily tipped to feature at this year's Big Day Out.
