With several live shows of bands like DevilDrider, The Faceless and Suffocation coming up, (death) metal fans in Japan are pretty lucky these days.
Concert promoters Alive and Evoken de Valhall have put together a handful of tours, each featuring a lineup of 4-5 bands each night. So the Japanese audiences will get plenty of “head bang” for their buck. Tickets cost between ¥6,500-8,000 for regular standing. In some cases the prices at the door will be higher, so we recommend booking in advance.
If you are looking for more metal concerts in Tokyo, Nagoya or Osaka, make sure to keep an eye on our ticket shop, as we add metal shows regularly.
