Making their UK debut supporting Osaka’s avant-garde legends DIR EN GREY on May 23rd, Paris born manga obsessed hardcore metalers RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR has Japanese culture running in their blood, with the band saying “we demonstrate our love for Japan every night when we take the stage”.
Bringing the spirit of 1980’s Shibuya together with 90’s New York Hardcore, ROTNS have come a long way since their formation back in 2008 with four critically acclaimed EPs and four self produced music videos with several million collective views. This year these guys will be bringing their sound to the world stage as they take to the road to join Europe’s festival circuit for appearances in Germany, France, Poland and more.
Rise Of The Northstar had this to say on the announcement of their first ever London performances…
“This first show in the city of London is for us a very important gig, and we are thrilled to be teaming up with Osaka’s Dir En Grey for the occasion. Being part of this bill is a strong statement about what ROTNS stands for. Let’s bring the heavy side of Neo Tokyo to London for one night!”
