Following their hugely successful UK arena tour in February, and a summer spent on the main stages of Europe’s festival circuit, Enter Shikari will head out on a short UK tour in November and December, playing shows in more intimate venues and including some towns often overlooked by more traditional major tours. Reminiscent of the band’s 2013 ‘Return To Energiser’ tour, which took in the likes of Weston-Super-Mare and New Brighton, the ‘Dancing On The Frontline’ tour will find itself stopping at the likes of Boston, Lincolnshire’s historic Gliderdrome venue and Torquay’s Foundry, amongst others, and also return visits to Shikari favourites such as Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am Wednesday 19th June, with a fan club presale starting Monday 17th at 10am. Tickets available here.
Support on all dates comes from Los Angeles’ Teenage Wrist.

Talking about the upcoming dates, lead singer and producer Rou Reynolds says: “People often travel considerable distances to come to live shows, so we feel it’s important for us to make the effort as well sometimes and play places that your standard tour wouldn’t normally.
On this run we’ve got some smaller stops that we haven’t played in ages, sandwiched in with cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Glasgow, that we didn’t get to visit on our arena tour.
As much as we love the bigger rooms it’s going to be killer to play some smaller sweatier places again, and as these will be our last UK shows for quite a while, we couldn’t go into hiding without one last visit to the Barras!”
Also being shared today is a live video of ‘Losing My Grip’ from Enter Shikari’s triumphant Wembley Arena set in Feb 2024, featuring a guest appearance from Fever 333’s Jason Aalon Butler. The band’s show had the distinction of being the first time ever that drone footage has been captured during a show at Wembley Arena, and also the first time ever that live drone camera footage was broadcast directly to the side-of-stage screens anywhere in the world.
Reynolds says of the video: “Preparing our production for the arena tour was so intense that we never got to make a music video for Losing My Grip. So it was fortuitous that with Fever on the tour we could do it in style… with Jason, drone cameras, full production, and 10,000 legends as extras.
It was the first time drones have been allowed to swoop around Wembley arena and capture the chaos of our audience from above. Our team captured some truly incredible footage.”
