Japanese bands launch European tours in August 2026

Several Japanese music acts are touring Europe in August 2026. The doom‑death band returns after a seven‑year absence with nine shows, including a performance at the Brutal Assault festival and its first Swedish dates in 13 years at Doomopolis in Malmö and Stockholm. Stone LEEK embarks on a month‑long tour of 26 cities across nine countries, visiting the Netherlands and Belgium among other venues.

TsuShiMaMiRe resumes touring in Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein as part of its "Oversized American Dreams" circuit, coinciding with the announcement of its 26th album, The Greatest World, slated for release on 9 September. Idol group GANG PARADE undertakes its first and final United Kingdom tour, ending with a headline show at The Underworld in London, after which all eleven members will DJ for JPU Records' Japan Underground event. Solo artist Takeru (formerly of SuG) also schedules European appearances.

These tours highlight a busy summer schedule for Japanese musicians across Europe, featuring festival slots, album releases and the concluding UK engagements of a popular idol group.
