Enter Shikari have come along way since the first time they played Norwich back in January 2006 at the Ferryboat. Both critical and commerical success has seen the band rise from playing to 100 people a night to over 1500 kids. Tonight the glow sticks and uv face paint seems to be out in force amongst the young crowd, many whom i imagine were at their first gig.

The bands blend of trance and hardcore gets everyone jumping from the start with crowd favourites being Hectic, Return to Energizer and new single We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don’t Want Us To Escape. After over a year and a half since the release of ‘Take To The Skies’ Enter Shikari brought out a range of new songs, which, whilst maintaining the now trademark sound showed an even heavier side.

Having seen Enter Shikari back at the Ferryboat it’s hard to imagine them translating so well on a bigger stage, but the band pull it off with no problems. The band seems to relate to the fans, happy to chat for ages whilst onstage rather than the slightly awkward mumblings from a few years back. Bring on the new album next year.
