Enter Shikari have announced their biggest German headlining show to date. The band will give an exclusive performance on Friday, July 18, 2025, at the Südbrücke Open Air in Cologne. General ticket sales start on Friday, February 28 at 11 a.m. at  www.entershikari.com, fan club pre-sale tickets are already available from Wednesday, February 26 at 11 a.m.

La Dispute from Michigan and Munich’s Blackout Problems will be supporting.

I’m really looking forward to being back in Cologne. Any excuse to visit our friends and supporters in Germany! I’m also excited to see our friends in Blackout Problems, who are opening the show, and we’ve got La Dispute along too, who I finally get to see live for the first time! Playing outdoors is one of my favourite things to do in life, so getting to perform under the stars on the bank of the river is going to feel very special indeed.

Currently working on new music – their first album since 2023’s ‘A Kiss For The Whole World’ – the band kicked off 2025 with a trip to Japan for Crossfaith’s Hyper Planet festival and are traveling to Australia this week to take part in Knotfest festivals in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. After that, it’s off to a string of sold-out headlining shows before frontman Rou Reynolds spends the spring playing the role of The Artilleryman in the touring arena production of Jeff Wayne’s War Of The Worlds. Over the summer, Enter Shikari will play a handful of European festivals, culminating in a mainstage show at the UK’s Reading & Leeds Festival. They have also been confirmed for the Long Beach Warped Tour.

Aside from new music, the band are also putting the finishing touches to the film of their 2024 Wembley Arena show, which is currently being edited in Kiev by their longtime collaborator and friend Oleg Rooz.
