Enter Shikari is making their long-awaited return to Tokyo as the 2000s rock band gears up for a highly anticipated show.
After the quartet confirmed a major tour spanning the U.K., Europe and Australia this year, they are set to bring their high-octane live shows to Japan.
In a social media post, Enter Shikari announced a series of headline shows in Shibuya, where the band will perform a two-day run on May 28 and 29 for their WWW X concert.
This will mark their first performance in the city in 14 years, with their last appearance dating back to 2012 during the A Flash Flood of Colour World Tour.
