Dir En Grey announce special Los Angeles headlining shows
It’s been five years since Japanese alternative metal band Dir En Grey performed in North America, and next year, they’re coming back to the region but for only two shows.
Yesterday, the band announced a special pair of headlining shows at The Belasco in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 8 and Wednesday, April 9. For their April 8 show, the band will perform a set heavily focused on their 2003 studio album Vulgar. The April 9 show will find them doing the same surrounding their 2005 studio album Withering to Death.
Pre-sale tickets are live right now here. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (October 11) at 10 a.m. PST.
This year, Dir En Grey unveiled the singles "19990120" and "The Devil in Me.” The band’s last studio album was 2022’s Phalaris.
