Despite only just completing the first week of their largely sold out October UK jaunt (including a Camden Roundhouse this weekend having its roof well and truly blown off by the collective mayhem of a band and 3,000 revelers very much having the time of their lives), Enter Shikari have confirmed a short run of UK touring for early 2010, including shows at Blackpool's prestigious Empress Ballroom and London's Hammersmith Apollo.
Some form of release (details sketchy thus far) will accompany the dates.
Tickets for Blackpool and Hammersmith are on sale already, tickets for the remaining shows become available from Wednesday 14th October. All tickets are available from www.crowdsurge.com/entershikari
On the subject of the current October dates, footage filmed at the first night of the tour, in front of a packed out and highly frenzied Norwich UEA crowd, was taken away and edited as soon as the show ended. Exactly 48 hours later, a video for album track 'Zzzonked' appeared. This can be viewed here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrDse_2lEDA
On top of all this excitement and intense drama, drum'n'bass maestro High Contrast has put the finishing touches to his remix of 'Common Dreads' track 'Wall'.
