After a friendship of many years, Japanese rock band ELLEGARDEN will join forces with British alternative rock band FEEDER for a tour called Sonic Bridges Tour 2025. During this tour, the bands will perform in Japan, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Belgium. For ELLEGARDEN, it will be their first time performing in Europe. It is a special collaboration, as ELLEGARDEN’s band members have always admired British band FEEDER and listened to their music a lot during their early tours.

ELLEGARDEN are a Japanese rock band formed in 1998, known for their energetic mix of punk rock and alternative rock, and achieved great popularity in Japan and abroad, thanks in part to their English-language lyrics and melodic sound. After going on a hiatus in 2008, ELLEGARDEN made a successful comeback in 2018 with a national tour and their first album in 16 years, The End of Yesterday (2022). They continue to be loved by fans for their catchy songs and powerful live performances.

FEEDER are rightly considered one of Britain’s biggest rock bands, with over 30 years of activity, including 12 studio albums, 12 compilations, four EPs, 43 singles, millions of records sold worldwide and 26 hits in the UK Top 40. With their infectious rock music and energetic performances, they have made a lasting impact on the music scene. Currently, the band consists of vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas and bass guitarist Taka Hirose.
