Enter Shikari

thank you, everyone that came over to see us at Download Festival yesterday. and everyone we met at the signing. we know that the weekend was a bit difficult at times, and being one of the last bands of the whole weekend (and against such strong clashes on the other stages) can be hard in that situation. but seeing the tent (and beyond) so packed, and you lot in such fine voice, was incredible. thank you. it means a lot. here's some photos from Tom Pullen - Photographer. 💙

happy birthday, Common Dreads. ten years today. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY RORY C! x

we kick off our festival summer tomorrow with a tiny warm-up show (which we are pleased to announce our friends Haggard Cat will now open up for us) in Nottingham, before heading off to Download Festival for Sunday night. and here's just some of the other festival stuff we got going on across the summer. looking forward to seeing some new faces and reuniting with old ones. x

Sssnakepit. from our first trip to Ekaterinburg, Russia a few years ago. had forgotten all about them Ambush Reality shirts.

an interview with Rou from a Manchester cable channel, filmed when he was up for the #DearFutureHistorians signing up there.

there's now copies of #DearFutureHistorians for sale via entershikari.com 💙 BUT : as the book is *heavy* (those who already own can attest to this), that makes postage "not-cheap". and not being a multinational corporation, entershikari.com is unable to offer free postage, instead having to pay what is charged by Royal Mail. SO : we'd really only recommend to those in the UK who want to take advantage of the bundle offer / bookmark (details below), and and we'd recommend those of you overseas look elsewhere (there are several online retailers who ship to outside the UK). for those who've read this far and ARE interested : entershikari.com is doing bundle w/ the typewriter shirt which'll get you 20% off the combined price. PLUS we'll chuck in a bookmark signed by Rou for your trouble. (purchase of the book on its own will also get you a signed bookmark, if bought via entershikari.com. and non-book orders will also get an unsigned bookmark included, packaging permitting). (orders will be shipped from today, as Rou signed the bookmarks yesterday. see below for evidence 🧐🙂). https://www.entershikari.com/store

if you missed it the other day, and have some time to spare ; Rou "in conversation" with Kerrang! on the subject of the new #DearFutureHistorians book, "what comes next" and more...
