What this is
Two veteran Japanese punk-rock acts — locofrank and GOOD4NOTHING — hitting the road together for a joint headline tour, with this Sapporo date landing at club SONIC iwaki. Both bands have been fixtures of the Japanese melodic punk scene since the early 2000s, drawing on Fat Wreck and Epitaph-style influences, so expect fast tempos, singalong choruses, and a crowd that knows every word.
Who should go
Fans of Japanese melodic hardcore and punk rock, especially anyone who grew up on the mid-2000s Japanese punk scene. This is a niche gig — if those band names don't ring a bell, it's probably not your night.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold through eplus.jp or pia.jp for Japanese punk tours of this scale — both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. club SONIC iwaki is a small live house in Sapporo with an intimate standing-floor layout, so expect a tight, energetic crowd close to the stage. Arrive at least 30 minutes before doors open to collect tickets and get a good spot; these shows tend to sell out among the local punk community. Cash is recommended for merchandise and drinks at the bar. Show duration is typically 90–120 minutes for a co-headline format like this.
