Enter Shikari are thinking bigger than ever, and the numbers back it up. The genre-defying rockers have announced their largest headline tour to date, a full UK and European arena run this November, capped by two consecutive nights at London’s Alexandra Palace. This is a band that debuted at Wembley Arena on their last UK run and has kept raising the ceiling ever since.
The European leg opens November 3rd at Sporthalle in Hamburg, including the band’s largest-ever German headline show at Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Halle, capacity 7,500. The UK leg launches November 13th in Nottingham and moves through Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow, and Manchester before landing at Alexandra Palace for the closing two-night stand. Support across both legs comes from Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys. Frontman Rou Reynolds didn’t undersell it: “November will bring our biggest arena tour ever. With a completely new show. To get to play Ally Pally two nights in a row is going to be something of a fantasy.”
Enter Shikari were the first artists to implement a £1 per ticket donation to the Music Venue Trust on a large-scale arena tour, a grassroots support initiative later adopted by Sam Fender and Coldplay. Every UK ticket sold for this run continues that commitment. A band operating at arena scale that still puts grassroots venues first, that’s worth paying attention to.
Ahead of November, Enter Shikari tour Australia with grandson supporting most dates, hitting Newcastle, Frankston, Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Tickets for the UK and EU dates are on sale now.
