British post-hardcore foursome Enter Shikari, who have consistently defied genre stereotypes since their mainstream debut in 2006, will again be making waves at this year’s Reading/Leeds Festival, where the group will unveil their new ‘alter-ego’ project, Shikari Sound System.

When pressed about the style and genre of this side project, the band made clear that long time fans would not be disappointed:

“Expect re-worked Enter Shikari tracks along with classic remixes and new surprises. Expect eerie live electronics and tent-peg-dislodging basslines. Expect a tour through many dance tempos and electronic genres that have been a constant inspiration to our band’s sound. Combining both live instruments and percussion with dub-plate wizardry, this is one for the skankers, the steppers, the movers and the shakers.”

Shikari Sound System will make its headlining debut on the Lock-up Stage Friday, August 23 in Leeds, and Sunday, August 25 in Reading.
