The illustrious Enter Shikari have just announced a UK and EU headline arena tour for November, their biggest yet, and a headline run around Australia in May! The EU dates kick off on 3rd November at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, and include the band’s biggest ever German headline show, at Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Halle, boasting a capacity of 7500! The band will then begin the UK leg of the tour in Nottingham at the Motorpoint Arena on 13th November. Gigs in cities including Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow (first ever arena show here) and Manchester (their biggest show here yet) will follow, before ending with not one but two shows at London’s Alexandra Palace on 20th and 21st November! They will be joined by Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys as support for both the EU and UK leg.
Frontman Rou Reynolds has said, “November will bring our biggest arena tour ever. With a completely new show. I cannot say much yet but I can tell you now it will be our most thrilling. To get to play Ally Pally two nights in a row is going to be something of a fantasy. I bloody love that building and we will make sure we have the variety and theatrics to do the place justice. The tour also includes our biggest ever Belgian show, and first ever German headline arena show, which we’re all buzzing for.”
Rou continues, “We’re happy to once again be supporting the Music Venue Trust with donations from our ticket sales. We will always support and fight for grassroots venues. They mean so much to us not just because we wouldn’t have made it to where we are now without them, but because they are the great bastions of community and creativity, without which, UK culture would decay dramatically. And we’d all be left drowning in the most mind-numbing corporate pop music and pointless, AI-produced drivel.”
Before the UK and EU run, Enter Shikari will head to Australia and play shows in Newcastle, Frankson and Fremantle, as well as Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane amongst others. American-Canadian artist grandson will join the tour as support, on all but one of these dates.
For the Australian dates, exclusive ticket presale for members of the Mailing List and Fan Club presale starts on Thursday, with general sale starting on Monday 2nd February here. Tickets for the EU & UK leg go on general sale at 10am on Friday here, with Mailing List and Fan Club starting tomorrow at 10am.
The highly-anticipated November tour is the band’s first arena tour since their A Kiss For The Whole World tour in 2024, celebrating their album of the same name landing them their first ever UK No.1 album in the Official Charts, where they had previously scored 6 Top 10 albums! The 2024 tour included their raucous debut Wembley Arena show.
