Enter Shikari announce one-off Manchester gig for April

Enter Shikari by Kate Hook

Enter Shikari plan a return to the venue they first played 20 years ago.

Enter Shikari will be back at Satan’s Hollow in Manchester on April 9th this year for a special one-off, intimate show.

“Manchester’s a city that means a lot to us,” the band have said.

The Satan’s Hollow show back in April ’06 was the first sense we got that “something” was “happening”. A queue around the block and total chaos inside. We’ve had a lot of memorable shows in Manchester since then (and in November we’ll play our biggest ever UK headline show there!) but for some reason that night at Satan’s Hollow kept coming up in conversation, so the anniversary show was just too tempting.

This gig is due to be followed in November by a wider tour of the UK and Europe which is being undertaken in conjunction with the Music Venue Trust.

“We’re happy to once again be supporting the Music Venue Trust with donations from our ticket sales,” Rou Reynolds said.

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.”
