We show a homological result for the class of planar or symmetric operad groups: under certain conditions, group (co)homology of such groups with certain coefficients vanishes in all dimensions, provided it vanishes in dimension 0. This can be applied, for example, to l2–homology or cohomology with coefficients in the group ring. As a corollary, we obtain explicit vanishing results for Thompson-like groups such as the Brin–Thompson groups nV .
