Gallery: Enter Shikari Lay Waste To The Hope And Anchor

A stadium band in a 60-cap venue. As you can imagine, it got pretty wild.

June 20, 2018

You're probably a little sad you missed Enter Shikari playing The Hope And Anchor, a 60 capacity venue, last night. The band were kind enough to play there as part of our Week of Rock, which, you should know by now, culminates in the Kerrang! Awards 2018 tomorrow.

We can't decide whether these incredible photos by our talented buddy Tom Pullen are going to make you feel better or worse about missing the show. On one hand, they capture the vibe of the evening perfectly: one of the more intense live shows we've ever seen. On the other hand, they probably just rub in the fact that you weren't there. So, you're welcome! But also, sorry. Enjoy:

It was quite a night.
