Enter Shikari made their long-awaited return to Watford with their only UK headline show of the year, bringing chaos and nostalgia in equal measure to the newly refurbished Colosseum.

The St Albans band treated the near-homecoming crowd to a career-spanning set that had the 2000-capacity art deco venue bouncing from the opening notes of “Bloodshot.” After noting they hadn’t played Watford in roughly twenty years, Rou Reynolds and co. fed off the hometown energy all night, with the audience nailing those iconic claps during “Sorry You’re Not a Winner” in perfect unison.

A brief mid-set technical mishap saw Rou wandering the stage with a torch after his in-ears fell out, but he laughed it off without missing a beat. Brighton duo Lake Malice delivered a storming support set to kick things off, proving once again why Enter Shikari remain one of the UK’s most electrifying live bands.
