Enter Shikari Plot Their Most Ambitious Arena Tour Yet
UK and EU headline dates land this November, with Australia in their sights this May
Enter Shikari have announced a colossal run of headline dates for 2026, taking on their biggest arenas yet across Europe and the UK, with an Australian tour locked in for May. Kicking off on 3rd November in Hamburg, the EU leg hits major cities before the band return home to a string of landmark UK shows — culminating in two massive nights at Alexandra Palace, London.
Joining them for both the UK and EU legs are Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys, promising a high-octane run packed with theatrical ambition and post-hardcore firepower.
“Our Most Thrilling Show Yet”
Speaking on the upcoming tour, frontman Rou Reynolds teased a reinvention of the live experience.
“November will bring our biggest arena tour ever. With a completely new show… I can tell you now it will be our most thrilling,” Reynolds shared. “To get to play Ally Pally two nights in a row is going to be something of a fantasy. I bloody love that building.”
He also highlighted firsts for the band, including a debut arena show in Germany and their largest Belgian crowd to date. Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Halle will mark their biggest ever German headline show with a 7500-strong capacity.
Fighting for Grassroots Music
Enter Shikari’s UK dates will once again support the Music Venue Trust. Each ticket will include a £1 donation to the charity, aiding grassroots venues under threat. The band pioneered this initiative during their 2024 tour — a move later mirrored by the likes of Coldplay and Sam Fender.
“We will always support and fight for grassroots venues,” said Reynolds. “They are the great bastions of community and creativity, without which, UK culture would decay dramatically.”
Heading Down Under First
Before they hit Europe, Enter Shikari will head to Australia this May for a headline tour with support from genre-defying artist grandson (on all but one date). Presale for Australian dates begins Thursday, with general sale kicking off Monday 2nd February.
