Enter Shikari aren’t just playing shows anymore — they’re throwing full-blown cinematic events. Case in point: their absolutely electric 2024 Wembley Arena performance, which is now being immortalised in the latest instalment of their Bootleg Series. Titled Live at Wembley, the upcoming live album and full concert film will be unleashed on July 11 via SO Recordings / Ambush Reality, and it’s shaping up to be an unmissable moment in the band’s already legendary history.
This was no ordinary gig. As the final stop on their UK arena tour, the night doubled as a celebration of A Kiss for the Whole World, the band’s first UK #1 album. From the second the lights dropped, fans were treated to a twenty-song thrill ride pulling from all seven of the band’s studio albums — all reimagined with signature Shikari flair, explosive production, and a few surprise guests.
Among the highlights? None other than Eurovision icon Sam Ryder joining the band for a powerful version of Satellites, which has just been released as a standalone single ahead of the album. And if that’s not enough, Jason Aalon Butler of Fever 333 and LetLive fame also dropped in, adding even more chaos to the controlled storm.
Vocalist Rou Reynolds describes the show as one of his all-time favourites, and it’s easy to see why. Despite a few behind-the-scenes tech mishaps (a couple of cameras gave up the ghost entirely), the finished video offers something truly special — including epic drone shots and a finely tuned mix that captures all the sweat, screams, and euphoria of the night. Shout out to longtime sound engineer Dave Wilkie, who managed to bottle the energy of 12,500 fans and one very loud band.
The vinyl release is just as special. Limited to 3,000 copies worldwide, collectors can hunt down exclusive colour variants at select indie stores in the UK and beyond, plus through the band’s own online shop. It’s a proper keepsake for a proper moment.
With Enter Shikari set to hit Reading and Leeds this summer before venturing off on a European tour (with some long-overdue returns to Spain and Portugal), Live at Wembley feels like a victory lap that’s still only just getting started.
