What this is
Two of Japan's most respected punk-rock outfits — THE BONEZ and SHADOWS — share a stage for what promises to be a high-energy joint concert in Tokyo. Both bands operate in the Japanese punk and rock underground, with THE BONEZ known for their bilingual delivery and SHADOWS for their melodic hardcore edge. Expect a loud, fast, crowd-surfing kind of night.
Who should go
Japanese punk and rock fans, especially those who follow either band's back catalogue. Foreign visitors already into the Japanese rock scene will find this a genuine local experience rather than a tourist-facing show.
Good to know
Tickets can be purchased through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; choose convenience store (combini) pickup at Lawson to avoid delivery complications. The venue has not been confirmed at time of writing, but Tokyo rock shows of this scale typically take place at mid-capacity venues such as Shibuya O-EAST or similar, which hold 1,000–1,500 standing. Cash is advisable for merchandise and drinks at the bar. Doors usually open 30–60 minutes before showtime, and the total running time for a two-band bill is typically 2–2.5 hours. Photo policies vary — check the official artist social media accounts closer to the date for any restrictions.
