More than two decades after forming in St Albans, Enter Shikari return to the Great Hall at Alexandra Palace for two nights behind their eighth album, Lose Your Self.
Enter Shikari play the Great Hall at Alexandra Palace in Wood Green on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026. The band had their first UK number one album in 2023 with A Kiss for the Whole World.
The band began in St Albans, Hertfordshire, in 1999 as Hybryd, with Rou Reynolds on vocals and electronics. They took their new name from a boat belonging to Reynolds’s uncle.
Before any label had signed them, they sold out the London Astoria in 2006. Their debut, Take to the Skies, reached number four the following spring. Their sound joins post-hardcore to electronica and punk, under Reynolds’s politically engaged lyrics, and they release records through their own label, Ambush Reality.
The 2024 arena tour that followed it closed with the largest headline show of their career, released the next summer as Live at Wembley.
Alexandra Palace has a place in that story: the band recorded two live albums in the Great Hall, in 2016 and 2017. These nights are their first in London for Lose Your Self, the eighth studio album they released without warning on 10 April 2026.
