Japanese avant-garde metallers Dir En Grey return to the UK this May, giving fans the opportunity to hear songs from last year’s Arche album performed live for the first time. Both London shows, taking place on May 23rd and 24th, are now officially sold out.
In addition, the band has announced select shows for Europe. Their current schedule is as follows:
May
20 - Astra Kulturhaus - Berlin, Germany
21 - FZW - Dortmund, Germany
23 - 02 Academy Islington - London, UK (SOLD OUT)
24 - 02 Academy Islington - London, UK (SOLD OUT)
26 - Bataclan, Paris, France
27 - Effenaar - Eindhoven, The Netherlands
For the uninitiated, the Dir En Grey live show is a genuinely jaw-dropping experience. Well-worn phrases are often bandied about in promotional hyperbole, but in the case of this Japanese five piece, the secretion of blood, sweat and tears is a real prospect, such is the emotion and soul poured into their shows.
Bold and sensitive, chaotic and melodic, over the course of nine albums, dir en grey have become one of the biggest names in Japanese rock to break outside of their home country.
