Enter Shikari are making their return to the stage with a set of massive shows later in the year.

The band will be making their way through Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium before finally playing a variety of arenas across the UK, finishing up with two nights at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace.

That will bring it up to five times that the band have taken over the palace at the top of the hill. An achievement in itself.

And if that wasn’t enough, they are going to be bringing Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys along for the ride. So three generational bands, all in one night? We have never been more back.

Voalist Rou Reynolds had this to say about the run, stating, “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.”

Oh, and also, for every ticket sold, £1 will be donated to the Music Venue Trust, going directly towards keeping grassroots venues across the UK open and running, when they need support more than ever.

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.”

SO, shall we look at some dates?
