Enter Shikari

After wiping their social media accounts last week, English electronicore masters Enter Shikari are primed for their new era.

The UK quartet who have spent two decades genre-mashing punk, electronic, post-hardcore, pop and metal will headline concerts in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Frankston, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast this May.

"We return to AUSTRALIA in May," the band posted, "where we're looking forward to visiting some new destinations alongside the more established tour stops. We're excited to be sharing the stage with grandson (with opener still TBA)."

The live dates follow the band's most celebrated period with their seventh studio album, 2023's 'A Kiss For The Whole World', the group's first UK #1 record that led to a 2024 UK arena tour and main stage appearances at Download and Reading & Leeds.

After only performing one concert in 2025 – a 3,000-capacity warm-up at Watford Colosseum – as 2026 settles in, the band are quietly shaping their next chapter, a collection that will eventually become their eighth studio album.

"In May we'll be heading back to Australia, our home away from home. We cannot wait to return and continue to explore, befriend, and create chaos, and in some towns and cities we've never been to before," frontman Rou Reynolds says.

Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 2 February.
