Enter Shikari announce biggest UK & EU tour so far
FUTURE HISTORIANS ASSEMBLE
Enter Shikari have just levelled up. Fresh off one of the most successful chapters of their career, the St Albans trailblazers have announced their biggest-ever UK and EU headline arena tour, landing this November and it’s shaping up to be monumental.
The run marks the band’s first full arena tour since 2024’s ‘A Kiss For The Whole World‘ campaign, which saw Enter Shikari claim their first-ever UK No.1 album and cement their status as one of the most vital and forward-thinking bands in British alternative music. Not bad for a band still operating with one foot firmly in the grassroots.
The European leg kicks off on 3rd November in Hamburg before rolling through the continent, including the band’s biggest German headline show to date at Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Halle. From there, the tour hits the UK in full force, starting in Nottingham on 13th November and stopping in Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow and Manchester, before closing with two huge nights at London’s Alexandra Palace on 20th and 21st November.
Support across both the UK and EU dates comes from Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys, making this one of the strongest arena line-ups of the year.
Frontman Rou Reynolds has promised something special, saying:
“November will bring our biggest arena tour ever. With a completely new show… it will be our most thrilling. To get to play Ally Pally two nights in a row is something of a fantasy.”
As ever, Enter Shikari are also putting their money where their mouth is, every ticket sold for the UK dates will include a £1 donation to the Music Venue Trust, continuing a scheme the band pioneered during their 2024 arena tour. That initiative has since inspired artists like Sam Fender and Coldplay to follow suit, further proof that Shikari aren’t just talking about change, they’re actively making it happen.
Rou added:
“Grassroots venues are the great bastions of community and creativity. Without them, UK culture would decay dramatically.”
Before Europe and the UK, the band will head to Australia in May, with shows across Newcastle, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and more, joined by grandson as support on most dates.
The tour follows a huge 2024 that included Enter Shikari’s debut Wembley Arena headline show, later released as ‘Live At Wembley‘, complete with the first-ever FPV drone flown live inside the venue. Because of course they did.
Tickets for the UK & EU dates go on general sale Friday at 10am, with mailing list and fan club presales already underway.
Expect demand to be heavy, this is Enter Shikari operating at full power.
