X Japan: First Ever North American Tour

TOUR STARTS SEPTEMBER 25 AT WILTERN THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES

X Japan
They’ve sold 30-million records and DVDs, filled the 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome a record-breaking 18 times, they pioneered “Visual-Kei,” the Japanese music movement that helped spark the current world-wide Anime craze, and their leader has been referred to as “the Bono of Japan.” But the one thing this Guns N’ Roses-meets-Queen-meets-The-Matrix rock group has wanted to do for years but has never done, is tour America.

That’s about to change, as on September 25, X Japan will kick off a seven-city North American trek at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, with subsequent stops in Oakland, Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago, Toronto, and New York. Tickets are on sale now and most can be purchased through www.ticketmaster.com (go to www.etix.com for the Chicago date) or at the venues’ box office.
