I will provide an overview of current and future surveys to be conducted at all wavelengths which will be directly relevant to the full exploitation of the next generation of radio surveys. These will stem from the wide-area relatively shallow surveys covering many 1000 of square degrees through to the deeper pencil beam surveys. Particular emphasis will be placed on the science which can be gleaned from combining new surveys at optical, near- mid- and far-infrared wavelengths with the surveys to be conducted at radio wavelengths in the near future.
