An acclaimed rock band is hinting at a reunion, sparking fans' hopes of a possible tour or new music.

Billboard reports the five members of Radiohead have established a new limited liability partnership under the name RHEUK25 LLP, according to the British Government’s Companies House agency. Such an LLP is a legal business entity to allow the band to work outside of the typical framework of a record label.

According to Pitchfork, Thom Yorke and company have done similar LLPs before announcing new tour dates or releasing music. Radiohead did the same thing before releasing its last album, “A Moon Shaped Pool,” in 2016, as well as “The King of Limbs,” “Kid A Mnesia” and 2007’s “In Rainbows.”

There also exists the possibility that the LLP could lead to an entirely different project. Yorke took similar steps before releasing work with Atoms for Peace and The Smile - though this one includes Radiohead bandmates Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Philip Selway, and Ed O’Brien.

Radiohead, which last toured in 2018, gave another clue Friday when it unearthed a rare VHS video of Yorke doing an acoustic performance in 1995. Rolling Stone reports the 25-minute concert video release marks the 30th anniversary of “The Bends,” opening the door for an album reissue or celebration tour.

Radiohead is a Grammy-winning art rock band known for is experimental, alternative sound on songs like “Creep,” “Fake Plastic Trees,” “Karma Police,” “Paranoid Android,” and “The National Anthem.” The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and five of their albums have been named among Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
