It has been nearly two years since Enter Shikari last undertook a full UK headline tour.
Sure, there's been the occasional burst of home turf activity… the most pronounced of which being either the four headline dates in February 2010 (which resulted in the Blackpool Empress Ballroom's roof falling in, and ended with the band's biggest headline show to date at London's 5,000 capacity Hammersmith Apollo), or the stint with 30 Seconds To Mars around the arenas and sheds in December 2010. But we're talking proper "get in the bus and go the length and breadth of the UK, playing a full set and and being allowed use of the showers" type touring.
Enter Shikari have announced a stint of sixteen shows for this coming Autumn, taking in some of the more intimate' UK venues the band has played in quite a while.
For this October's run of UK and Irish dates, the band have invited friends and fellow Hertfordshire hardcore outfit Your Demise, and explosive LA combo letlive. to join them, continuing the killer bill that will cross mainland Europe together throughout September.
To add an extra frisson of danger to the proceedings, the English and Welsh dates of this tour will be promoted directly by Enter Shikari, rather than via a national promoter, a natural step on from the band's DIY stance of releasing recordings via Ambush Reality. Tickets will be initially available solely through www.entershikari.com via their arrangement with Music Glue.
Despite being away from UK touring thus far in 2011, the band have certainly not been resting on their laurels.
A short Texas tour, three weeks album recording in Thailand followed by two weeks in London, the release of a brand new single - 'Quelle Surprise' - back in May, best part of two months on Warped Tour in North America June and July, the release of a live CD & 2DVD set (entitled 'Live From Planet Earth' and released July 11th), main stage performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, and a brief tour of Russia… that is what Enter Shikari will have tucked under their belts before they start thereal work for this year!
By way of sprinkling a little extra fairy dust over this announcement, tonight's special London party show at Camden Dingwalls is to be streamed live at www.entershikari.com/dingstream Enter Shikari will be onstage and streaming live from 8:55pm!
