Following the news that The Enemy will split in 2016, tickets for the trio’s farewell tour flew out and all shows previously announced are SOLD OUT, but now, due to phenomenal demand, the band have added more dates to their final live stint across the UK. Further gigs will take place in Bristol, Leicester and Liverpool, as well as extra nights in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Coventry with them now playing four nights on home soil.
Tom Clarke, The Enemy’s frontman, said: “As always, I am in awe of our fans who continue to support us. Selling out all of these initial dates is overwhelming and we can’t wait to get out on stage for the final time and see you all.”
Since forming in Coventry in 2006, The Enemy have produced three Top 10 albums and 2015 release, It’s Automatic, which peaked at Number 21 in the UK charts. Early successes include the debut single ‘40 days, 40 nights’ selling out all 1000 copies of its limited 7” in under 24 hours; platinum debut album We’ll Live and Die in These Towns charting at Number 1 with singles ‘Away From Here’ (Top 10) and ‘Had Enough’ (Top 5) gaining the band an army of loyal fans. The second album Music For The People was released in 2009 and charted at Number 2, achieving gold status, and third full length Streets In The Sky (2012) shot straight into the Top 10. Industry recognition in the form of a Q Award (Best New Act), XFM Award (Best British Debut Album) and NME Award (Best New Band) coupled with strong record sales (1,000,000 to date) and passionate live performances on sell out tours are just a few highlights from The Enemy’s decade together.
Special guests for tour to be announced.
