and live on Freeview channel 276
Rock band Enter Shikari have announced a series of residency shows - including three in the West Midlands. The shows are part of the band’s promotion of their new album ‘A Kiss for the Whole World’.
Three shows will take place at KK Steel Mill in Wolverhampton in February, March, and April. The band will also likely play their new single ‘(pls) set me on fire’ which is the lead track on the new album.
The Wolverhampton shows will take place on February 17, March 16 and April 15. Ticket information can be found below.
Rou Reynolds, who is vocalist and keyboardist in the band, commented on how it felt to get the new single written. He said: “Honestly, I thought I was f*****. I’ve never felt so detached from my soul, my purpose, my f****** spirit. I didn’t write music for almost two years. The longest I’d gone before that was two weeks. I was broken.
“It’s almost as if my brain had asked: ‘What is the point in music if it cannot be
shared? What is the point in writing music if it’s not to be experienced with others?’
and then promptly switched itself off. ‘(pls) set me on fire’ grew out of that
desperation. This song is a projectile vomit of positive energy. Every emotion trapped inside me for two years, finally set free.”
How to get tickets
Exclusive access to tickets begins January 19 for members of the band’s fan club, or anyone pre-ordering the album on their website. General sale begins January 26.
