For those who experienced the golden days of visual kei in Europe, it is fascinating to see how the 2025 tour schedule has been unfolding. Could it be that NIGHTMARE, who kicked off the year with a European tour, has caused a domino effect? The year is now packed with tours and performances by visual kei acts. DAMNED can now be added to that list. This visual kei band from Tokyo will tour Europe for the first time in November and December with six shows under the banner JUKAI.

During their first European tour, which is also their first venture outside Asia, the quintet will take the opportunity to share their music, which combines the intensity of metalcore with the dark theatrical aspects of visual kei, with fans in Germany, Slovakia, Spain, Poland, Finland, and the United Kingdom. Last April, the band was in Korea for a sold-out show with Madmans Esprit.

What makes it even more remarkable is that the visual kei band has been active for less than three years, but in this short time, they have made such an impression that they have joined forces with Killing Daze Management to organise this European tour. The band consists of vocalist Hitone, guitarists Suica and Kou, bassist Sakura, and drummer Masaya, and has released a large selection of singles to date, with 酔狂と交わる強迫的価値観 (Suikyou to Majiwaru Kyouhakuteki Kachikan) being the most recent release.
