ENTER SHIKARI

Enter Shikari are an English rock band formed in St Albans, Hertfordshire in 1999 by bassist Chris Batten, lead vocalist and keyboardist Rou Reynolds, and drummer Rob Rolfe. In 2003, guitarist Rory Clewlow joined the band to complete its current line-up, and it adopted its current name.

In 2006, they performed to a growing fanbase at Download Festival as well as a sold-out concert at the London Astoria.
