@Less16candles_ added: “Ending the UK leg with a double dance party in our Notts.. Smart!”
The tour is to promote the band’s album Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, which was released in April 2020. Enter Shikari will be supported by alt-rock band Dinosaur Pile-Up and rock duo Nova Twins. Other stops on the UK tour include London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Nottingham.
Enter Shikari originally formed in 1999, and consists of bassist Chris Batten, lead singer Rou Reynolds, guitarist Rory Clewlow, and drummer Rob Rolfe. The group have had five top 10 albums in the UK chart, and have won multiple Kerrang and AIM awards. NME gave their latest album four stars, writing: “‘Nothing is True & Everything is Possible’ brings together every shape that Enter Shikari have ever pulled and slots them together to create their most definitive album yet.”
