Electronically-inspired post-hardcore outfit Enter Shikari are set to announce a mammoth 24-show UK tour tomorrow, according to a post on their Facebook page this weekend.
The group are focussing on hitting up venues in cities that they’ve ‘either never been, or not been for years, or that don't generally get shows at all’, and will see them performing tracks new and old in what will be some of the more intimate shows they've played in recent years.
The Facebook post reads: “Dear United Kingdom and Ireland... a little heads up.
on Wednesday, at around midday, we will announce (and have a special two day pre-sale via our site) some special UK shows for April.
“There will be 24 shows in total. with the exception of one or two of the shows, none of them will be in what would be considered 'major' towns or cities (ie: no Manchester, Birmingham, London etc). Most of the shows are around the 600 capacity mark.. so a little more 'cozy' than recent shows.
“We're focusing on the sort of places that we've either never been, or not been for years, or that don't generally get shows at all. (to give you an idea of the sort of thing; is there anybody reading this who lives on the Wirral? when was the last time you saw a rock show without having to get on a train or in a car and go to Liverpool / Chester / Manchester or whatever? yeah.. its that sort of tour).
“Its taken ages to put together, so only got it finalised this week (we know there's been a couple of dates that were rumours going around... but at least one of those shows isn't happening now. that's not our fault, it was just that they were leaked before they were confirmed).
So, yes... please spread the word, and tune in on Wednesday around midday (maybe even a little earlier) for the announcement.”
The band have since revealed a number of clues ahead of the announcement, and teased on Facebook earlier today: “One day to go folks. some more clues... Wales? = yes - two shows.
Scotland? = yes - four shows. Ireland / Northern Ireland? = yes - four shows. a couple of seaside resorts? = yes - at least three. somewhere near home? = yes - something special planned for that. announcement / special website presale = midday-ish tomorrow.”
