Despite being less than two months into their planned writing / recording routine, cabin fever (or, rather, 'bungalow fever') has hit the Enter Shikari camp.
To give the St Albans quartet a light at the end of the tunnel, they've decided its time they had a month in a van to look forward to just as winter will be setting in.
The tour bypasses many of the usual touring band stop offs, and instead takes in several cities and towns that the band hasn't seen for a couple of years.
The dates, dear friends, look like this...
