Popular English rock band, Enter Shikari, are set to come to Hull this year. Performing at Connexin Live, organisers say this gig will be the only Yorkshire tour date.
The band comprises of Rou Reynolds (vocals/electronics), Rory Clewlow (guitar/vocals), Chris Batten (bass/vocals) and Rob Rolfe (drums/vocals). Since forming in 2003, Enter Shikari has gone on to release seven full-length studio albums: Take to the Skies, Common Dreads, A Flash of Colour, The Mindsweep, The Spark, Nothing is True and Everything is Possible, and A Kiss for the Whole World.
The band has been recipients of multiple awards, as well as playing thousands of live shows around the globe. They’ve supported bands such as The Prodigy, Linkin Park and 30 Seconds to Mars, as well as headlining the UK’s Slam Dunk Festival in 2023.
Their 2024 tour included the band’s first ever show at Wembley Arena and, in recognition of the grassroots touring scene which birthed them, the band pledged £1 from every ticket sale for the tour to be donated to the Music Venue Trust to support grassroots music venues in the UK.
Summer 2025 saw Enter Shikari playing their biggest ever German headline show to date, an outdoor headline performance at Cologne’s Suderbruck venue, after which the band returned briefly to California to take part in the Van’s Warped Tour Long Beach festival, before finishing festival season in Europe with main stage sets at Reading/Leeds Festival.
Enter Shikari ended 2025 with a run of European dates taking in some of the less-visited-on-usual-Shikari- tours countries, culminating in the band’s first headline shows in Spain for several years. The band also performed their only headline UK show of 2025, a relatively intimate tour warm-up show at Watford’s Colosseum.
Enter Shikari will come to Hull’s Connexin Live on November 15 2026. Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am at www.connexinlivehull.com.
