British rock band Enter Shikari have announced they will go on an indefinite hiatus at the end of 2027, though they insisted the decision does not mean they are splitting up, according to the Guardian.
The St Albans band, which formed in 1999 under the name Hybryd, said the move to "fall dormant" feels "liberating."
Enter Shikari are due to tour the UK in November, followed by dates in Europe and the US next year, with the band saying they hope to play some of their favourite venues "one last time" before the hiatus begins.
The band acknowledged the decision could eventually result in what they described as the group's "extinction," though they stressed this was not a formal breakup.
Further details on the band's plans beyond the upcoming tour dates were not included in the available reporting.
