With more than half of the venues on the upcoming October UK tour now totally sold out, and the rest of the shows down to their last handful of tickets, Enter Shikari are announcing their largest UK shows to date to follow their European headline run in January. Those dates are:

SATURDAY 6th FEB - BLACKPOOL - Empress Ballroom
FRIDAY 12th FEB - LONDON - Hammersmith Apollo

In support of the UK tour the band will be releasing a remix of ‘Wall’ from Drum n Bass kingpin High Contrast at the end of October.

These shows will be the culmination of a whirlwind eight months which will have found the the band:

• Releasing their second album, Common Dreads.
• Blowing the roof off of the Reading Festival main stage (and - probably - breaking the world crowd-surfing record in the process), and many main stages around continental Europe -
• Having two singles A-listed by 'the nation’s favourite' BBC Radio One.
• Embarking out a 17 date UK headline tour (largely sold out at time of typing this and no doubt moreso by the time you read it).
• Touring the USA twice.
• Touring the arenas of mainland Europe as special guests of The Prodigy.
• Being nominated for two Kerrang! awards (not winning them, but when you're up against the likes of SlipKnot and Metallica, it’s the taking part that counts. That's what we tell ourselves this end anyway).
• Experiencing not one, but TWO earthquakes in Japan.

Following these shows, Enter Shikari will be off to Australia for the Soundwave festival, followed by a short tour of Japan, and then it’s back to the USA for God knows how long.
