Enter Shikari will deliver a special companion album for A Kiss For The Whole World this summer.

Revealed today, Dancing On The Frontline will arrive on July 7 via SO Recordings. The release will feature non-album singles, remixes, and live tracks. “Goldfish (Shikari Sound System remix)” is available on digital services right now. Pre-orders for Dancing On The Frontline can be made here. Vinyl and CD versions will include a Blu-ray of the band’s live performances at Slam Dunk 2023 and Vainstream Festival 2022.

Enter Shikari vocalist Rou Reynolds said this about the forthcoming companion album:

“We’re exactly one year on from the release of A Kiss For The Whole World, so it feels like the right time to present all our output from this crazy year, along with some new treats, all in one place. We’ve not had a lot of time or energy to do any Shikari Sound System mixes for a while, so it was great to be able to step back into that chair and remix 'Goldfish' and 'Bloodshot'. We tested out the Goldfish rework live on our UK & European tour and insanity ensued.”

Enter Shikari have also announced a North American trek set for this fall. The band will be joined by Yours Truly and You Me At Six, who’ll embark on their final North American trek. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 26) at 10 a.m. local time. Fan pre-sale tickets will go live tomorrow (April 24) at 10 a.m. local time with the password ESYMASYT24. Tickets can be purchased here.

Reynolds said this about their fall trek:

"North America has always been difficult for Shikari, long tours, thousands of miles, and playing venues smaller than most of the other rooms we get to visit around the world. But we’ve always kept returning because there’s a real zest and passion from our audience out there, even if fewer people ‘get us’.

Recently things seem to have begun sizzling a bit more for us, with more shows selling out and more intensity in the crowds. So it’s some reward for our tenacity that we’re returning in October for what will be our biggest ever North American headline tour. And that will be made all the sweeter by being able to bring our friends You Me At Six with us for this one. We’ve known each other a long time, but somehow only ever played a couple of shows together, so the fact that they’re joining us for what will be their last ever USA & Canada tour really means something to us."

Prior to their North American tour, Enter Shikari will appear at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple along with some special headlining shows in Nashville, Atlanta, and Durham.
