The date marks almost exactly 20 years since the band first played both the venue and the city, a formative show that helped spark their rise. Tickets for the one-off performance will be made available via a registration-only system, with access granted on a first come, first served basis.

Reflecting on the announcement, frontman Rou Reynolds described Manchester as a city deeply tied to the band’s journey, recalling the chaotic energy and overwhelming response of that first show back in 2006. Two decades on, the return to Satan’s Hollow promises to be both a nostalgic celebration and a rare chance to see the band in an up-close setting. Support on the night will come from Liverpool’s rising outfit East Exchange.

The intimate gig arrives amid a huge year of touring for Enter Shikari. The band are set to embark on their biggest UK and European arena tour to date this November, following headline runs across Australia and North America earlier in the year. The UK leg will culminate in two major shows at London’s Alexandra Palace, marking another milestone in their ever-expanding live career.

In keeping with their long-standing support for grassroots music, each ticket sold for the UK arena tour will include a £1 donation to the Music Venue Trust, helping to sustain independent venues across the country—a cause the band have consistently championed.

The tour follows the success of their chart-topping album A Kiss For The Whole World, which secured the band their first UK No.1 and further cemented their reputation as one of the most vital forces in British alternative music. With over 3,000 shows under their belt and a legacy of explosive live performances, Enter Shikari continue to balance ambition with a clear commitment to their roots—something perfectly embodied by this return to Satan’s Hollow.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
