Sometimes in December, you can get the feeling that this seems to be an endless month of concert highlights. To add to this, we had the opportunity to eyewitness ENTER SHIKARI on one of their rare ‘Dancing On The Frontline Tour 2024’ gigs in Europe.

No need to say that the tour was sold out fast, the venue ‘Im Wizemann’ was packed with an electrified audience. But before the heroes from St. Albans (UK) got on stage, WAIT OF THE WORLD, a Munich-based five piece, warmed up the crowd with a mixture of electronic and alternative rock. With their action-loaded show and ever moving vocalist, there was no trouble convincing the audience to engage and setting the right mood for the headliner.

When ENTER SHIKARI started their performance, the tension erupted fully. There was no holding back, and everybody started singing and jumping. The audiovisual dope provided was simply too good. ENTER SHIKARI gave a solid proof why they are still among the UK top acts for the genre of post-hardcore with a blend of metal and electronic sounds. The energy and action on stage was spectacular. The animation on the large LED pillars spanning over the full width of the stage were stunning and a perfect match to each song and combined with well curated lights. It was simply phenomenal. For long-time fans and for first-timers, the show gave a good overview of the musical bandwidth of the band. The set list covered the full spectrum of their musical capabilities and evolution over the years of band history. All this while the band kept a close connection to the audience at all times. And as reaction from the audience there has been a constant stream of crowd-surfers, singing, shouting and jumping up to the last song.
