Enter Shikari Surprise Release New Album ‘LOSE YOUR SELF’

With zero announcements or teasers from the band, Enter Shikari have today surprise released their brand new album! Lose Your Self (released via So Recordings) spans 12 tracks exploring themes of desolation, futility and complete despair at the state of the world, but with glimmers of hopefulness and optimism threaded throughout. Whilst the likes of major pop stars including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber who have famously released albums out of the blue over the years, Enter Shikari have managed to not only release Lose Your Self digitally, but also physically, unlike their predecessors. As of right now (12am BST on Friday, April 10th), this accomplished and ingenious body of work is available to stream and also buy in CD and vinyl format worldwide.

Frontman Rou Reynolds articulates,

“We’re delighted to present LOSE YOUR SELF, and give people the chance to hear a Shikari record like never before – as a cohesive whole. We want people to go on a proper journey with this album, and see where it takes them.

No lead up, no singles, and no explanation. Forcing the listener to actually listen, without being drip-fed ideas out of context, or spoon-fed explanations. We simply present it all, for the listener to immerse themself in.

Releasing in this way was also a decision to not be distracted by chart races, or accolades and “things”.

We got the No.1 album on our last record. This is simply about the music being presented in a natural way.

Despite turning out to be one our darkest and heaviest albums to date, it also preaches hope and offers answers.

Shikari will always offer hope, because without hope there is no action. We’ll just always offer it with a dose of realism.”

Earlier this year, Enter Shikari announced a UK and EU headline arena tour for November, their biggest yet, a headline run in Australia in May, and two headline runs in North America – the first hitting the East Coast in June, where they will be joined by Boston Manor and Initiate as support, the second hitting the West Coast in September and October with Initiate and main support TBA.

The EU dates kick off on 3rd November at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, and include the band’s biggest ever German headline show, at Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Halle, boasting a capacity of 7500! The band will then begin the UK leg of the tour in Nottingham at the Motorpoint Arena on 13th November. Gigs in cities including Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow and Manchester will follow, before ending with not one but two shows at London’s Alexandra Palace on 20th and 21st November!

Every ticket sold for the band’s UK arena tour dates will include a £1 donation to the Music Venue Trust, supporting grassroots music venues under threat of closure in the UK. Enter Shikari were the first artist to implement the scheme which is one very close to their hearts, with ticket sales from their 2024 arena tour carrying the donation, paving the way for the likes of Sam Fender and Coldplay to follow suit with their own generous donations.

The highly-anticipated November tour is the band’s first arena tour since their A Kiss For The Whole World tour in 2024, celebrating their album of the same name landing them their first ever UK No.1 album in the Official Charts, where they had previously scored 6 Top 10 albums! The 2024 tour included their raucous debut Wembley Arena show. The four-piece last year released Live At Wembley, the triumphant live show recorded in full available on streaming services, and on a limited run of vinyl available at only four record stores worldwide. You can also watch the full show here, which features footage from the first FPV (first-person view) drone to be flown live at Wembley Arena!

During their remarkable and celebrated career, Enter Shikari have received several accolades in the form of gongs from NME, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Heavy Music Awards and more. They have played a whopping 3000+ live shows around the world including three headline arena tours in the UK, supported the likes of The Prodigy and Linkin Park and played festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Download and Slam Dunk where they also headlined in 2023.

LOSE YOUR SELF arrives at a moment when Enter Shikari’s trajectory has never been steeper. Their seventh record, A Kiss For The Whole World, gave them their first UK Official Albums Chart No.1 in 2023, completing a run of seven consecutive top-five debuts. The subsequent arena tour included a landmark first headline performance at London’s Wembley Arena, later documented on the live album and film Live From Wembley. This November, the band embark on their biggest UK and European arena tour yet, taking in two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Manchester’s Co-op Live, and their first ever German headline arena show. North American headline dates are confirmed for the East Coast in June and the West Coast in September/October, along with performances at Vans Warped Tour in Washington D.C. and Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI.

I just love when a band just releases an album without building a hype, without the "save the date", without singles/spoilers.

That feeling when you wake up in the morning unaware until there's an email that the album is now available in full. Nice.
