There are more exciting things for me to bring to your attention today than the new touring schedules of three acts whose output could and should be described as mediocre at best.

So, I’ve lumped them in together, like hacking smirters out in the November cold. Enter Shikari first – who are going over to the US before the year’s out:

November
30 Portland Satyricon

December
1 Vancouver Canada - Plaza Club
2 Seattle Chop Suey
4 San Francisco Bottom Of The Hill
5 Los Angeles Troubadour
6t Anaheim Chain Reaction
7 San Diego Soma

One down, two to go – wailing melodramatists Paramore are next chronologically, so let’s get these out of the way. In the UK:

January
29 Manchester Apollo

February
1 London Brixton Academy
4 Birmingham Carling Academy
6 Bristol Carling Academy
8 Portsmouth Guildhall
9 Nottingham Rock City
10 Glasgow Academy
12 Newcastle Academy
13 Leicester De Montfort Hall

Support comes from the ever-fecund New Found Glory.

As the rubbish truck indicates to take the last left before pulling back into the landfill yard, it makes sense to bring you news of a joyous homecoming. The Enemy, of Coventry, have followed the lead of Leeds’ the Pigeon Detectives by announcing a gig at the 8,000 capacity Ricoh Arena.

March
19 Manchester Apollo
22 Dundee Caird Hall
23 Edinburgh Corn Exchange
24 Glasgow Academy
28 London Astoria
29 London Astoria

April
5 Coventry Ricoh Arena
