This event is being held with the aim of raising the level of the metal scene, teaming up with HATTALLICA and Semi 1-go (Tsuruno Takeshi), who are well known from MUSIC LIFE CLUB and LEGEND OF ROCK, to commemorate the restart of "CICADAS," a band that Semi 1-go (Tsuruno Takeshi) previously formed.
The bands performing this time are diverse, including not only CICADAS, but also Yeti Valhalla led by Adam Jang, who will be touring the UK from LA starting in April, Mellows, who are making waves by blending the cute world created by Mio with the heavy phrases played by Sally and GINA to create a new sound called "CUTE METAL," and HATTALLLICA will also be performing alone.
With the number of inbound tourists steadily increasing in recent years, "Loud Rock New Era!" is an event targeted at foreigners visiting Japan and those living in Japan who love HR/HM!
This performance is a lineup that metal fans will love.
We look forward to seeing you all there.

＜HATTALLICA＞
Hattarika has been around for over 20 years and continues to evolve. It is the only band in Asia that is officially recognized by Metallica and is supported by Metallica fans around the world. In recent years, Hattarika has been in the spotlight for arranging "Freedom of Speech," which was released last July as part of the "Jouji Yamamoto Metalization Project," and is one of the most popular tribute bands today. Kirz, who plays lead guitar, is so close to Kirk Hammett of Metallica that his family is friends with him. In recent years, Metallica has often used the word "Hatttarika" to refer to the band, and each time this happens, it becomes a big topic of conversation among Metallica fans around the world.
＜CICADAS＞
CICADAS is led by Semi No. 1 (Tsuruno Takeshi). From the end of last year to last year, they collaborated with Hattarika, a world-famous Metallica tribute band, and performed in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, attracting attention. This year, in order to liven up the metal scene, CICADAS is fully relaunching with Hattarika.
＜Yeti Valhalla (from LA)＞
Yeti Valhalla, led by Adam Jang from Vancouver, Canada, is actively active in Japan, the UK, and the US. Adam Jang has band members in Canada, the US, London, and Japan, and promotes live performances in each country. From 2023 to 2024, they headlined the BuraPa Bike Week Festival (Asia's largest bike rally) for two consecutive years, and also appeared at the opening show for LA Guns at The Whisky A Gogo in Los Angeles, USA, and the NAMM show in Anaheim. After that, they officially signed with Golden Robot Records and reached No. 7 on the European Indie Music Chart. They performed multiple sold-out shows in Tokyo and Osaka, and appeared on multiple Japanese TV shows, including the Mr. Big Pat Torpey special. They will also be touring the UK starting this April.
<Mellows>
The cute worldview created by Mio blends with the heavy phrases played by Sally and GINA to create a new sound called "CUTE METAL," which has attracted attention. "Rabbit Love it!" from their first album "alloy," released last year, became a "top metal song" on the iTunes Store. "Mikansei," ranked 1st in Japan and 43rd in the UK, and 2nd in Japan and the Netherlands.
