ENTER SHIKARI
FREE DOWNLOAD / BIG OUTDOOR SHOW


Following their European Arena tour supporting The Prodigy – due to start next week (12th Nov in Finland) – Enter Shikari are honoured to find themselves invited to join The Prodigy again next year, this time for their biggest ever headline show. The event takes place at Milton Keynes Bowl on July 24th 2010, and features a very impressive line-up that goes like this:


The Prodigy, Pendulum, Enter Shikari, Chase & Status, Does It Offend You, Yeah?


In a display of generosity, Enter Shikari offers to the world a free download of the previously unreleased ‘radio mix’ of album track ‘Wall’. Originally remixed by ‘Common Dreads’ producer Andy Gray specifically for radio promo use, the track was deemed too different and of interest to fans to remain locked away, but too similar to the original to have the cheek to charge cold hard cash for. So, instead, it’s being offered out as a free download for anyone that wants to take it.

Nirvana Live At Reading will be issued in a limited edition DVD+CD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations on November 2, 2009, followed by a 2 LP version on November 16, 2009.
