DIR EN GREY "TOUR25 WHO IS THIS HELL FOR?" USA Leg announced


Only 2 shows?

Hmm, I wonder if it will be only these two shows. Would be strange, considering the whole visa stuff that changed a few months ago, right?
Maybe they’re waiting for feedback on ticket sales and will book more shows accordingly?

Extremely excited. My fiance was jumping up and down like a kid haha

Can’t wait for tickets to go on sale.

they probably have to book american venues super early, so if they’re touring Europe again they’ll announce dates closer to the actual tour.
same thing if they plan on doing south america or mexico - if their US visas get approved, they’ll add more dates south from there.

Tickets go on sale in 1.5 hour but for some reason the ticketmaster app lets me buy the VIP tickets already for Weds

Why would they annouce Europe toursdates closer to the actual dates? This years tour (first gig 19.03.) Was annouced at the beginning of October 2023. This tour starts 08.04. and was annouced today. So it’s 19 days earlier, less than 3 weeks diffrence. Not really a significant difference when we talk about 5-6 month in advance.

I just bought mine too. I’m not sure why it’s allowed. An oversight I suppose. But I’m going to take advantage of it. This is probably the biggest venue I’ve seen them at in the US, so I wanna make sure I’m super close.

Aaahhh! Do I want to go to LA to see them? I missed my chance to see them in Cleveland last time they were here. I don’t know.

Sick New World is that same weekend, and considering it’s being advertised as a headlining show, I wonder if they’re also planned for sick New world or joining another band on tour

Kaoru comments: “Just like it happened for the European tour we went on in March, we couldn’t make the project of coming to the U.S. in 2022 as part of our 25th anniversary activities come true either. And now, with so much going on, it is quite difficult to do a proper tour, but (we thought) if it’s for a single show, then it’s doable. It will be a little bit different from the “FROM DEPRESSION TO ________” series; I think it will become a show where the songs from each of those eras mix up and blend with nowadays DIR EN GREY(‘s music).”

It’s possible this could turn into more tour dates (especially if LA sells out); but it seems like the intent is for this to be a one-off kinda thing.

I wonder if this’ll serve as a USA final send off

because they can book EU dates for may/june and announce them after ny since getting visas for a eu and uk tour is much easier than doing papers for an american concert.

Presale didn’t happen? I just got booted

I don’t think they will come back next year to europe. They only did that at the hights of j-rock and later changed to doing EU tours every two years until covid.
Also they already had mode of Withering to death here so the US tour looks more like a late addition to the Euro overseas. Even if they can get the visas faster, they might want to annouce far in advance for other reasons. More people can attande when they have more time to plan/take days off and to save up money.

The 2-night pass option is currently not working, I was able to get tickets selecting the nights separately.

Presale was so buggy. Had to apply 12 times to get it to go through.
