Ken Yokoyama Ballad Of Punkamania Tour II | Punk Rock Live in Hiroshima 2026
About this event
What this is
Ken Yokoyama is a Japanese punk rock icon, best known as the former frontman of Hi-STANDARD, one of Japan's most influential punk bands. 'The Ballad Of Punkamania Tour II' is the second leg of his touring cycle built around his song 'The Ballad,' which gained renewed attention through a special music video tie-in with the popular TV anime 'Golden Kamuy.' The tour brings Ken's signature melodic punk sound to intimate club venues across Japan, offering fans a raw and energetic live experience. This Hiroshima date at Club Quattro is part of a nationwide run that blends classic punk spirit with contemporary anime culture crossover appeal.
Who should go
This show is ideal for fans of Japanese punk rock, melodic hardcore, and anyone who grew up with Hi-STANDARD or the Japanese punk scene of the 1990s and 2000s. The Golden Kamuy anime tie-in also makes it appealing to anime fans curious about the music behind the series. Club Quattro Hiroshima is a mid-sized live music venue with an intimate atmosphere, so expect a passionate, close-knit crowd of dedicated music fans. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the floor, as this is a standing venue with numbered ticket entry.
Good to know
Tickets are advance sale with a numbered entry system (整理番号付), meaning you are assigned a queue number rather than a fixed seat — arrive before doors open at 18:00 to line up in number order and get a good standing position. Purchase tickets via eplus.jp or pia.jp; both accept foreign credit cards and offer Lawson convenience store pickup, which avoids any delivery address issues for visitors. Club Quattro Hiroshima is a standing live house with a capacity of roughly 500–700, delivering an intimate and energetic atmosphere typical of the Quattro chain. Cash is recommended for drinks and merchandise at the venue, though some Quattro venues now accept card payments at the bar — bring some yen to be safe. Bags are generally not checked at Club Quattro venues but large backpacks may be asked to be stored; travel light for comfort in a packed standing crowd.
