Enter Shikari have been announced for the main stage on Saturday at this year’s Download Festival.
In a relationship with the festival that dates back to 2006, and includes two headline performances on the second stage as well as the Download Pilot in 2021, this will be Enter Shikari’s debut on the main stage.
Lead singer and producer Rou Reynolds said: “Download festival was the first festival we ever played and will always have a special place in our hearts. It is now once again time for us to return to open minds and rattle ribcages. Though we’ve played many times over the years, this will be our most momentous visit yet.”
Earlier this month Enter Shikari released the single ‘Losing My Grip’ (feat Jason Butler from Fever 333) ahead of the band’s UK & EU arena tour dates in support of the UK #1 album A Kiss for the Whole World.
