Followers of dustbox and locofrank will find this a rare opportunity to see both acts on the same bill. The atmosphere will be loud, sweaty, and passionate — expect a crowd that knows every lyric. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the floor and check the venue's social media for door and start times.
Good to know
Tickets for this event are likely available through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson is the easiest option for visitors. CB is a compact live house in Fukuoka's music scene, known for hosting punk and rock acts in an all-standing format with an intimate capacity. Cash is recommended at the venue for merchandise and drinks, as smaller live houses in Japan often do not accept cards at the bar or merch table. Bags larger than a small backpack may be subject to a bag check fee at the door. Show duration for a dual-headliner punk event like this typically runs around two to two and a half hours.
