B7Klan (Envol Prod) just announced the first European v-kei festival. In total, 10 Japanese + 2 European bands will perform on July 11 and 12 in Paris.
If there is no kind of conflict with Killing Daze and B7 then Yoshiatsu/Tsuzuku projects, Jiluka open up as likely options. Lyrica will probably have an usable artist visa at this time.
But I mean realistically speaking it will be Hitt, Sana and Satsuki rotating different sets through the two days fresh off from finishing their touring obligations in Turkmenistan
but yeah,would be hilarious to see Salaryman Satsuki once again not bothering with extreme vocals and karaoke-ing with an iPad connected to the speaker
This is pretty cool to see happen, Jiluka will probably be there headlining. Now if we can start combining the Japan’s metalcore bands with vkeis metalcore bands for 1 overseas festival or tour, that’d be great. A SiM, Crystal Lake, Jiluka, and Dexcore Tour would heal me.
Even to get 2000 they’re going to need some names on this and even something to entice Japanese fans to go abroad.
Gazette and Dir en grey are unlikely to hop on something like this when they’ll do 1k on their own — and by extension the bands that are established in Japan on a different level like Sid, Luna Sea etc.
Some bigger names to throw around though: D’espairsray (willing to come here before), Lynch (about time), former Malice Mizer members in any capacity… uhh… ?
D’espairsray is always willing to go overseas. Since they came back they’ve been talking about it in all their interviews heck Tsukasa still has the taste of chaos logo on his pfp on ig lmao.
I am scared about the large venue… I truly hope it does work out.
Edit: I looked up Crossroad fest and their venue capacity was 9k. This isn’t looking good lol.
