Strap in, Aussie Shikari soldiers – Enter Shikari are officially heading back down under.
The UK electronicore juggernauts have locked in a full Australian headline tour for May 2026, bringing their famously unhinged, high-voltage live show across the country with special guest grandson in tow.
Enter Shikari – ‘Losing My Grip’ (ft. Jason Aalon Butler of Fever 333)
Kicking off on Thursday 14 May in Fremantle, Shikari will tear through Adelaide, Melbourne, Frankston, Newcastle, Sydney and Brisbane, before wrapping things up with a final blowout on the Sunshine Coast on Sunday 24 May.
Since bursting out of the UK scene in the early 2000s, Enter Shikari have carved out a lane entirely of their own – fusing post-hardcore chaos with electronic wizardry, laser-focused politics, and a live show that feels more like a rave meets a riot.
With seven studio albums under their belt – including 2023’s A Kiss For The Whole World, which scored the band their first-ever UK #1 album – Enter Shikari remain one of the most consistent and forward-pushing heavy acts on the planet. Add in nearly 3,000 shows worldwide, festival headline slots, and tours alongside the likes of The Prodigy, Linkin Park and 30 Seconds To Mars, and you’ve got a band built for absolute live carnage.
Australian fans already know the deal. Enter Shikari’s past local tours have racked up sold-out shows and festival chaos.
Joining them for the ride is grandson, who’ll be bringing his own brand of confrontational, riff-heavy alt-rock to every stop except Coolum. Fresh off the release of his third album Inertia in 2025, grandson has been pushing into darker, heavier territory – blending punk attitude, hip hop flow and big, chant-along hooks with a sharp political edge. Aussie audiences got a taste during his 2024 headline run and Good Things Festival appearances, and this tour is set to crank things up another notch.
Cop all the details down below.
