They have also announced UK TOUR BEGINS FEBRUARY 6TH
The release of 'Tribalism' follows hot on the heels of some of Enter Shikari's biggest headline shows to date.
The full dates are as follows:
Saturday 6th Feb - BLACKPOOL - Empress Ballroom
Sunday 7th Feb - GLASGOW - Barrowlands
Monday 8th Feb - GLASGOW - King Tuts (SOLD OUT)
Tuesday 9th Feb - MIDDLESBROUGH - Empire
Thursday 11th Feb - BOURNEMOUTH - O2 Academy
Friday 12th Feb - LONDON - Hammersmith Apollo
(support on all dates - except King Tuts - The King Blues).
Following a successful arena tour at the end of 2009 as special guests to The Prodigy the band are set to tour Australia on the Soundwave Festival in late February, followed by a batch of Japanese headline shows (supported by Escape The Fate and A Day To Remember) in early March, an extensive North American tour in April and May, before journeying to Russia for their first ever shows in St Petersberg, Moscow and Kalingrad.
Having also been invited back by The Prodigy as the only rock band to join the bill alongside Pendulum and Chase & Status at the Milton Keynes Bowl in July and a summer that will find Enter Shikari making their presence felt across the main stages of the European festival circuit, before heading back to the USA & Canada for their slot on 2010's Warped Tour, it's very much business as usual for the St Albans quartet. It isn't for no good reason that the band were recently voted 'Best Live Band' of 2009 in the Rock Sound reader's poll (alongside best album for 'Common Dreads' we hasten to add.)
