The Enemy Reunite at Frontman Tom Clarke’s Solo Concert and Announce Homecoming and Reunion 2022 Tour Dates

The Enemy reunited during frontman’s Tom Clarke’s solo performance in their hometown Coventry on Saturday, October 30th and also announced that they will be reuniting once more for a Homecoming Concert on October 28th 2022. Clarke surprisingly announced that bandmates Hopkins and Watts would be joining him on stage with this being the first time that the band has reunited since they disbanded in 2016.

The Enemy known in the US as The Enemy UK is an Indie Rock Band that was formed in Coventry in 2006 with frontman Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins (Bass Player) and Liam Watts (Drummer). The band’s debut album We’ll Live and Die in These Towns released in 2007 went straight to number one in the UK Official Albums Chart. The band released a further three albums, Music For The People, Street’s In The Sky and their last album It’s Automatic in 2015 to lukewarm reviews.  In 2016 Clarke announced that the band were disbanding amidst lack of exposure, fatherhood and personal health issues. Clarke embarked on his solo carer shortly thereafter and expressed his delight at the reunion in this tweet.  

The band’s response to their reunion homecoming concert announcement went down a treat as tickets sold out in record time. Followers were provided with the opportunity to scan QR codes that were present in the venue to purchase tickets. A further announcement was made in the shape of a reunion tour to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the release of the band’s debut album We’ll Live and Die in These Towns.

Clarke expressed his gratitude to the overwhelming response on October 30th and said “I never imagined the love and excitement that would be forthcoming today. I knew it would be well received, but this has been life-affirming. I hope we do you all proud. X” The band also expressed the feeling of reuniting and stated “What we weren’t expecting was quite how excited we would all be to play together again. The band’s reunion and homecoming tour will kick off on September 22nd in Leeds and end on the last day of their homecoming gigs on October 29th at HMV Empire in Coventry. 

Clarke is currently continuing his solo tour and is looking forward to reuniting with his bandmates once again for their upcoming reunion and  homecoming tour set for 2022. 02 priority tickets for the band’s reunion tour go on sale this Wednesday, November 3rd with Ticketmaster UK priority tickets going on sale on Friday, November 5th.
