Blackpool - 6th Feb

Blackpool in the summer conjures up images of families enjoying the golden beach, donkey rides and chips wrapped in newspaper.

Blackpool in the winter, on the other hand, is wetter than a boy band’s ballad about unrequited love and, worse still, windier than a roadie after a vegetable curry.
On February 6, Enter Shikari will roll into the Lancashire seaside for a show at the prestigious Empress Ballroom, with special guests The King Blues in tow.

Concerned that their queuing fans will be soaked within an inch of their lives and blown into the unforgiving waves of the Irish Sea, the band, in conjunction with Kerrang! magazine have set up the K! Pre-Show Club Room inside the very toasty Winter Garden complex which also houses the Empress Ballroom.

From 2pm to 6pm, ticket holders for the show will be able to shelter from the lashing rain and gale-force winds where there’ll be a bar, a set of turntables and places to relax.

To keep you entertained, Enter Shikari’s Rou Reynolds and Rob Rolfe will be manning the decks alongside The King Blues’ Itch and there’ll be other surprises during the afternoon.

Capacity is limited to the first 500 people on a first come, first served basis.

“This night is gonna be huge,” says Rou. “Rob and myself will be thrashing out some solid dubstep, drum n’ bass and house to get the party started. Rory C [Clewlow, guitar] will be in a bow tie and smooth beige corduroys rustling up cocktails for the masses and performing magic tricks with elastic bands and other everyday household utensils. Batty C [Chris Batten, bass] will be galloping about floozing with the females and mincing with the males. We’re gonna have a few surprise performances as well that we're all excited about. It’ll gonna be splendid to rub up against you all!”
