Enter Shikari Australian Tour 2026 w/ Special Guest Grandson
Attention all Aussie Enter Shikari fans: prepare to be a winner this May, with the dynamic UK electronicore marvels set to return down under for a headline run, joined by special guest Grandson.
A band who transcend genre and have transfixed fans across the globe since emerging in 2003, Enter Shikari weave an unforgettable blend of post hardcore rock and electronic wizardry, while also flying the flag for meaningful lyricism that spans politics, climate change and the very gamut of the human experience.
Most recently wowing Australian crowds in 2025 as part of Knotfest Australia, Enter Shikari's return in 2026 also follows on from the band's prior visits that include headline tours and multiple festival slots; and a huge amount of sold out shows along the way. An enduring Aussie favourite, Rolling Stone Australia perfectly captured the renowned live Enter Shikari magic, declaring: "the electricity of the Enter Shikari live experience has only grown and developed with time and the consistent release of material that demonstrated the band's hunger to push themselves sonically". Closing out 2025 with a run of European dates and one headline UK show at Watford's 3000-capacity Colosseum, 2026 is shaping up to be yet another unforgettable year for Enter Shikari.
Balancing ferocity with social commentary and riff-soaked rap, Grandson emerged via his 2018 debut EP A Modern Tragedy Vol. 1, evolving into a multi-platinum artist wielding millions of streams and an ever-growing global fanbase. Flitting between anthemic rock, hop hop and raw intensity, Grandson most recently released his third studio album Inertia in 2025; an album that saw the talented artist dive into darker, harder and more uncompromising territory, with a rallying cry for change and awareness in equal measure. Ticking off his debut Australian headline run in early 2024, Grandson returned later that year to appear at Good Things Festival, with Wall Of Sound praising of his Adelaide headline sideshow: "Known for his intense and often dark themes, Grandson paired his music with incredible energy and humour...musically, Grandson is a force of nature, seamlessly blending elements of hip hop, punk, blues, electronic, and pop hooks."
This May, leap into the lightning with some of the most electrifying live acts on the scene. And with a reputation for rapidly selling out shows, definitely don't sleep on your chance to spend time with Enter Shikari.
