Enter Shikari have recently added new dates to their UK and European Tour scheduled for the summer and autumn of 2021. Alongside the already rescheduled dates for May and June, the band announced more shows for September and October, embarking on a massive tour in Russia, Eastern Europe, the Baltic countries, Scandinavia and Central Europe, before concluding in Portugal and France.
The English alternative/electronic rock heavyweights released their last album Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible last April but never got the chance to do the planned support tour due to the global pandemic and regional lockdowns. Originally scheduled for the upcoming autumn and winter concert season, all shows got either cancelled or rescheduled, and rightfully so with the ongoing situation and government restrictions on all live events.
ADDITIONAL TOURDATES.

Tickets for all shows are already on sale. The previously rescheduled shows in Nottingham on 14 May 2020 and Cardiff on 11 June 2020 have already sold out but at present tickets are still available for the rest of the events in Middlesborough, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Southampton, Manchester and London, including an extra day in Nottingham for 13 May.
Enter Shikari have already established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to see live across the globe. Winner of the Best Live Band award of the inaugural Heavy Music Awards ceremony in 2017, among many other international accolades, one can only imagine how hard it is for the band to miss a whole year of touring. Lead guitarist Rory Clewlaw took it to Twitter to reassure all their fans Enter Shikari are more than ready to make it up for the lost opportunity in 2020.
We are proper making up for lost time next year! Can not wait to be out on the road again https://t.co/xyhb5Tz8VM — Rory (@roryclewlow) September 23, 2020
Outside of the ambitious UK and European tour, Enter Shikari have added several summer festivals to their busy schedule. The band is headlining Russia’s major rock & metal festival Dobrofest on 3 July before also appearing on three German festivals – Restless Summer in Torgau (17 July), Deichbrand in Nordholz (18 July) and Rocc Del Schlacko in Puttlingen (14 August).
The extensive tour is set to conclude in France for what is shaping to be the band’s “biggest French tour ever“. To celebrate the big announcement, Enter Shikari posted a video of their memorable performance at Hellfest 2019 supporting Swedish hardcore veterans Refused on the final day of the renowned festival.
Enter Shikari’s latest record Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible came out on 17 April this year through SO Recordings. Received extremely well by critics and fans, the albums peaked at #2 on the Official UK Albums Chart less than two week since its release, and became the band’s fifth album to reach top 10.
