DIR EN GREY returns to the US in April 2025 for the first time in over five years, since their 2019 North American tour. The band will headline two special nights in Los Angeles, blending newer tracks with selections from their iconic albums “VULGAR” and “Withering to death.”.
The tour, titled “TOUR25 WHO IS THIS HELL FOR?”, mirrors their upcoming domestic tour but features an exclusive subtitle for the US shows: “[mode of VULGAR & Withering to death.]”. On April 8, the set will feature songs from VULGAR alongside recent material, and on April 9, tracks from Withering to death. will take the spotlight, mixed with current DIR EN GREY hits. Both performances will be held at The Belasco in Los Angeles, CA.
Guitarist Kaoru expressed his thoughts on the tour:
Just like it happened for the European tour we went on in March, we couldn’t make the project of coming to the U.S. in 2022 as part of our 25th anniversary activities come true either. And now, with so much going on, it is quite difficult to do a proper tour, but (we thought) if it’s for a single show, then it’s doable. It will be a little bit different from the “FROM DEPRESSION TO ________” series; I think it will become a show where the songs from each of those eras mix up and blend with nowadays DIR EN GREY(‘s music).
VIP packages and priority access tickets are available along with general admission. VIP packages include early entry, so additional priority access tickets are not necessary for VIP holders.
