Sadly no :sob: Hopefully they sent B7 a preview for them to post on socials, but I doubt it.

Damn, I hope so too.. otherwise it will be hard for them to get votes if we don’t even know what they’re playing

The irony being that to hear their music they’d have to have enough votes to go to the livestreamed finale live :melting_face:

Sometimes you gotta buy the package because of the looks

Lol no worries, I know what you meant, I just got a bit nostalgic seeing him mentioned. His music is not particularly remarkable, but he is a really fun live act because he’s very over the top and silly, but you can tell he’s also very earnestly trying to put on the most entertaining show he can with one guy and a backing track + sometimes a keyboard. Granted, my impression of him is based 90% on this show from 15 years ago.

I saw one of his more recent MVs a few years back though, and he didn’t really seem any different under his current name, so I assume it still applies. :sweat_smile:

I mean, Dio played gigs here and had a pretty big fanbase in Europe, especially among the demography of the people the festival seems to target. Maybe that’s enough lol

It’s funny they started activities in January, 2 months ago, and right away considered going abroad in their first meeting haha

My favourites are Gravity and Liza (ex-Libravel members)

Gravity would be really fun and party.

But Antares live would feel very special. It was on of my favourite songs last year

Privileges are now available, and some are already sold out

Photos and meet & greet with Despa secured :saluting_face:

I was too late for MDM :pensive_face:

You’re aware that the photo opportunity basically includes the meet and greet, right? :smiley:

I’m debating the meet and greet with d’espairays but I don’t wanna go through the hassle to ask B7klan if I purchased general admission what is the price to upgrade my ticket. I want them to sign my garnet poster :smiling_face_with_tear:

They won’t even sign anything though, it’s just a handshake and you leave

I don’t want to be mean but.. there are no promising bands. I don’t think there is a single band from this list that will success in the future.

There is still hope with “ Geigotsu
 “ that didn’t release anything yet.

That’s as Visual Kei as you get. The cherry on top would be disbanding before the festival and dropping, them reuniting again, then firing a member for appropiating band funds and hiring , then another one, then dropping from the fest again because they forgot the new member needed a visa.

At least one of these has to happen to get the 100% VK package.

That tracks, this festival’s social media communication so far has also been very Visual Kei

Are you ruling out the “we lost contact with our vocalist after we arrived to Paris” thing?

Maybe new Sugar could pull an old Sugar in case they get picked by hevn (or has that happened by now? I lost track)
