The band has continued to release seven studio albums, and won multiple ‘Best Live Band’ award wins from the likes of the Kerrang! Awards, AIM Awards and Heavy Music Awards over the years.
Their latest album A Kiss for the Whole World currently sits at number one in the UK album charts and has been described as ‘the band’s most vibrant, direct and life-affirming album so far – one that has been a hit with fans and critics alike.’

Tickets go on sale from 10am BST on Friday 5 May 2023 on the band’s website here. Each ticket includes a £1 donation to the Music Venue Trust in support of grassroots music venues in each city.
Lead singer and producer Rou Reynolds comments on the initiative:
“Grassroots music venues in the UK are under existential threat. Every time we lose another one we lose a vital part of our culture. Bigger venues that benefit from the productive pipeline that grassroots venues provide need to support these smaller venues, as do the artists that have come up through them.
“Enter Shikari stands with Music Venue Trust in their efforts to bring more solidity and community to our brilliant UK live music scene”.
