The band will begin the UK leg of the tour in Nottingham, at the Motorpoint Arena on November 13. This will come after their EU dates, which kick off on November 3 at the Sporthalle in Hamburg. The UK dates include Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow and Manchester, before ending with not one, but two shows at London’s Alexandra Palace on November 20/21.

They will be joined by Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys as support for both the EU and UK leg.

These highly-anticipated shows are part of the band’s first arena tour since their A Kiss For The Whole World tour in 2024, which celebrated their album of the same name landing them their first ever UK No.1 album in the Official Charts. Frontman Rou Reynolds has said, “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.”

Every ticket sold for the band’s UK dates will include a £1 donation to the LIVE Trust, supporting grassroots music venues under threat of closure in the UK. Rou expressed his passion in always fighting for grassroots venues, in order to to prevent ‘mind numbing corporate pop music’ and ‘pointless AI produced drivel’, “We’re happy to once again be supporting the Music Venue Trust with donations from our ticket sales. 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.”

Enter Shikari were the first artist to implement the scheme, with ticket sales from their 2024 arena tour carrying the donation, paving the way for the likes of Sam Fender and Coldplay to follow suit with their own generous donations.

During their remarkable and celebrated career, Enter Shikari have received several accolades in the form of gongs from NME, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Heavy Music Awards and more. They have played a whopping 3000+ live shows around the world, including three headline arena tours in the UK. They have also supported the likes of The Prodigy and Linkin Park and played festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Download and Slam Dunk.

Before the UK and EU run, Enter Shikari will head to Australia. They will play shows in Newcastle, Frankson and Fremantle, as well as Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane amongst others. American-Canadian artist grandson will also join the tour as support, on all but one of these dates.
