Local heroes The Enemy now announce a big celebration of their own, after headlining Coventry City’s WE ARE BACK: LIVE promotion party yesterday in War Memorial Park in front of 50,000 fans. They will commemorate the 20th anniversary of their Platinum-certified #1 debut We’ll Live And Die In These Towns by headlining a special homecoming show at the indoor arena at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday 20 March 2027.

This will be The Enemy’s biggest headline show since they sold-out the 10,000-capacity venue (then the Ricoh Arena) all the way back in 2008. The trio also achieved a lifetime ambition earlier this season when they performed on the pitch ahead of Coventry’s 3-1 victory over Sheffield United.

Tickets for the show go on sale HERE from 10am on Friday 8 May.

We’ll Live And Die In These Towns changed everything for The Enemy. Beyond its #1 chart triumph and Platinum certification, it is packed with big hits, including the Top 10 Away From Here and Had Enough, as well as numerous other fan favourites and live staples. Its breakthrough led to further success for the trio, including another two Top 10 albums, shows with all-time greats such Oasis and The Rolling Stones, festivals including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, and an NME Award.

After some time away, a new era in The Enemy started with a reunion of their original and only line-up in 2022 with bassist Andy Hopkins and drummer Liam Watts. Last year saw them release Social Disguises, their first new album in over a decade. Their return was highlighted with support including NME, Radio X, This Feeling’s Video of the Week, Shiiine On’s Track of the Week, Live4Ever, Stereoboard, XS Noize and Songbird HQ.

The Enemy’s tour dates throughout the rest of this year continue on Friday, with a Social Disguises homecoming headline show at Coventry’s HMV Empire this Friday. Festival dates include Tramlines, Y NOT? and Victorious, and they will also headline a special summer show at Blackpool Winter Gardens on Friday 28 August. They return to arenas across the UK in November and December with a tour as special guests to Ocean Colour Scene.  See HERE for a list of all shows.
