After two successful European tours last year, fans of visual kei metal band JILUKA can once again look forward to a series of performances on the European continent. This summer, the four-piece band that brings a unique blend of electro, gothic and metal will return to Europe for several club shows and performances at major summer festivals, such as Rock for People and Tuska Open Air 2025. During this tour, Taiwanese folk metal musician NiNi will perform as a support act.

JILUKA will be appearing in eight European countries in June for 10 shows, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and Finland. The European shows are part of the world tour called THE KVLT, a reference to their most recent single release, which will kick off soon in Japan. Besides Europe, the band will also be appearing in South America for performances and in Japan for a national tour. This year, the four members of JILUKA are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the visual kei band with their world tour and a 10th-anniversary album, a best-of album, which will be followed up by a brand-new album in 2026.

Currently, the innovative metal band is in the United States, where they are performing as a support act during the North American tour of Swedish metalcore band Imminence. With this world tour, they once again underline their international growth, touring several continents within a short period of time and showcasing their energetic live performances to an ever-growing audience.
