English indie rock band The Enemy has announced an extensive UK tour for 2025, marking their return to the stage as they gear up for the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album.

The tour announcement comes as excitement builds around their upcoming album, which follows their 2015 release ‘It’s Automatic‘ and their 2022 reunion tour. The new record promises to bring The Enemy’s signature high-energy sound back to fans, blending anthemic indie rock with socially charged lyrics. Though an official release date has not been announced, the band has been recording new material with producer Matt Terry at Vada Studios, aiming to capture a sound reminiscent of their debut album, ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Towns‘ (2007).
Formed in 2006, The Enemy, comprising lead vocalist and guitarist Tom Clarke, bassist Andy Hopkins, and drummer Liam Watts, rose to fame with their debut album, which hit number one on the UK Albums Chart in 2007. Their most popular single, ‘Had Enough’, peaked at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart and became an indie rock anthem of the late 2000s.
Commenting on the upcoming tour, the band said on X: “We’re absolutely buzzing to be back on tour and in some of our all time favourite venues. We’ll be trying out new material for the first time in years ahead of the new album we’re making, we’re all really excited to try some new tunes and see what you think whilst we finish it!”.
