Enter Shikari - The Redshift Tour

Let your mind be swept away; your senses be assaulted as Enter Shikari returns to Australia this September for their Redshift Tour.

Kicking off in Melbourne, the tour will stop by Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide before heading to Perth for the final show.

Enter Shikari are one of the most promising live bands on the planet right now and their breathtaking live show was a sight to behold on their last Australian trek in 2015. Since forming in school, Enter Shikari have amassed well over 1500 live shows all under their belt, selling out prestigious venues in Australia and overseas and playing at many festival stages worldwide, including those on Soundwave 2012.

Building a career on doing their own thing, Enter Shikari have charged light-years ahead of their contemporaries with their avant-garde musicality that tears up genre boundaries. Their last album, 2015’s The Mindsweep, received universal acclaim, with Alternative Press hailing it as “the best album of Enter Shikari’s already impressive career. Yes, it’s that good”.

Joining Enter Shikari by support will be fellow UK citizens Hacktivist. Born out of a studio jam between guitarist/producer Timfy James and MC J Hurley in late 2011, Hacktivist fuse the groove, attitude and brutality of metal, grime, hardcore and hip-hop to create a one-of-a-kind sound that has excited and divided audiences. Their debut self-titled EP garnered high marks from the likes of Metal Hammer, Rock Sound and Kerrang!, and even found its way to hip-hop publication Insomniac and went as far as The Guardian.

Hacktivist dominated main stages at Sonisphere, Rock Am Ring/Im Park in Germany, Download, T In The Park and Reading/Leeds festivals and they were last seen in Australia on Soundwave 2014. Earlier this year, the boys released their debut album via UNFD worldwide, which features a cameo from Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds that will slay live.

Another band to support Enter Shikari will be Sydney’s Stories who took the heavy music world by surprise when they dropped their top 50 ARIA chart debut last year, cementing their reputation as an exceptional live band. Their last Australian headline tour saw sold out signs on box offices at all but one show.

Tickets for this tour will surely fly out the door so make sure you grab yours.
