Vocalist Chrissy Costanza said: “It’s wild to even say it out loud, but it’s been 15 years of Against The Current. We wanted to celebrate in the kinds of rooms we had some of those first surreal moments in, reliving it with the fans who were there and the ones who may have found us later.
“This band changed our lives, and we’re so grateful to everyone who’s been with us through it all. This has been the longest gap without an ATC show in our career and we can’t wait to be back together with everyone.”
Date:
March 2026

Enter Shikari

Enter Shikari will be touring in the U.K. later this year!
They will be joined in November by Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys.
£1 of every ticket sold will go to the Music Venues Trust to support grassroots music venues.
Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds said: “November will bring our biggest arena tour ever. With a completely new show. I cannot say much yet but I can tell you now it will be our most thrilling. To get to play Ally Pally two nights in a row is going to be something of a fantasy. I bloody love that building and we will make sure we have the variety and theatrics to do the place justice. The tour also includes our biggest ever Belgian show, and first ever German headline arena show, which we’re all buzzing for.”
“We’re happy to once again be supporting the Music Venue Trust with donations from our ticket sales. We will always support and fight for grassroots venues. They mean so much to us not just because we wouldn’t have made it to where we are now without them, but because they are the great bastions of community and creativity, without which, UK culture would decay dramatically. And we’d all be left drowning in the most mind-numbing corporate pop music and pointless, AI-produced drivel.”

November 2026
13 – Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena
14 – Cardiff, Utilita Arena
15 – Hull, Connexin Live
18 – Glasgow, OVO Hydro
