Enter Shikari have confirmed a major UK and EU headline arena run for November 2026. Billed as their biggest tour to date, there is also an Australian headline tour in May.
The EU leg begins on 3 November at Sporthalle, Hamburg, and includes the band’s biggest-ever German headline show at Mitsubishi Halle in Dusseldorf (capacity 7,500). The UK run starts at Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham on 13 November and wraps with two nights at Alexandra Palace, London on 20 and 21 November.
Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys will support Enter Shikari across both the EU and UK legs.
Rou Reynolds: “Our biggest arena tour ever”
Frontman Rou Reynolds says the band are bringing a completely new show. “November will bring our biggest arena tour ever. With a completely new show… it will be our most thrilling.” He adds that playing Alexandra Palace two nights in a row is “something of a fantasy” – and promises the variety and theatrics to do the venue justice.
UK tickets support grassroots venues
Every ticket sold for the band’s UK dates includes a £1 donation to the Music Venue Trust, supporting grassroots venues at risk of closure. Enter Shikari were the first artist to implement the scheme, which has since been adopted by artists including Sam Fender and Coldplay.
“We will always support and fight for grassroots venues,” Reynolds says. “They are the great bastions of community and creativity.” Tickets are on sale from Friday at 10 am at EnterShikari.com/shows.
Fresh off their A Kiss For The Whole World arena run in 2024, celebrating their first UK No.1 album, Enter Shikari have also released Live At Wembley, recorded during their debut Wembley Arena show. For MetalTalk readers keeping an eye on the next big Heavy Metal live production moment, this one is shaping up to be unmissable.
