Enter Shikari are a British rock band from St Albans, formed in 1999, whose music fuses post-hardcore, electronic music, drum and bass and alternative rock into a sound entirely their own. Fronted by vocalist and keyboardist Rou Reynolds alongside guitarist Rory Clewlow, bassist Chris Batten and drummer Rob Rolfe, the band built their career on their own label, Ambush Reality, before breaking through to mainstream recognition. Their seventh album 'A Kiss for the Whole World' (2023) became their first UK number one, and in April 2026 they surprise-released their eighth record, 'Lose Your Self', without any prior announcement or singles. Across nearly two decades they have earned multiple Kerrang! Best Live Band awards and a reputation for politically engaged, high-energy live shows.
Enter Shikari surprise-released their eighth studio album 'Lose Your Self' on April 10, 2026, with no prior singles or announcement, and it reached number 16 on the UK Albums Chart.
In January 2026, the band announced their largest-ever UK and EU headline arena tour for November 2026, including two nights at London's Alexandra Palace and their biggest German headline show at Düsseldorf's Mitsubishi Halle.
