What this is
Two American metalcore/post-hardcore legends β Shai Hulud and Taken β land in Nagoya as part of a rare Japan tour. Shai Hulud have been influential in the melodic metalcore scene since the mid-1990s, and Taken were a pivotal post-hardcore act whose records still circulate in underground circles. Catching both on the same bill in an intimate club setting is the kind of show that rarely happens outside the US.
Who should go
Hardcore and metalcore devotees, particularly those with a taste for late-90s and early-2000s underground American scenes. HUCK FINN is a small venue, so this suits fans who want to be close to the stage rather than watching from a distance.
Good to know
Tickets are likely available via eplus.jp or pia.jp β both accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. HUCK FINN is a small Nagoya live house with a standing floor and limited capacity, so advance purchase is strongly recommended. Doors typically open 30β60 minutes before showtime at venues this size; arriving at door open will give you the best floor position. Cash is advisable for drinks and merchandise at the venue. Photo and video policies vary β check with staff on the night.
