ASP announce “ASP in the U.K Tour”, their first international headline tour

Alt-idol group ASP have announced their first overseas tour, with “ASP in the U.K Tour” scheduled for September. The eight-member WACK act will be back in the UK for a series of headline shows, though full schedule details have yet to be announced.

The tour follows ASP’s ongoing participation in WACK in the UK, a recurring showcase held at The Underworld in Camden, London. Since making their international debut at the inaugural edition in November 2023, ASP have returned for every instalment, including their most recent appearance on June 5th at WACK in the UK Vol.6, performing alongside fellow WACK acts MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN and ExWHYZ. Their six consecutive performances in London, paired with their punk rock-driven sound and intense live sets, have helped build a dedicated UK following.

The announcement comes during ASP’s ongoing 19-date Acid Suspicious Parental Tour, which will wrap up with a sold-out finale at Tokyo’s LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on August 15th. It’s also the group’s first tour with new member iKO MUGENNOKANATA, who joined earlier this spring following the disbandment of third-generation BiS. Although she previously performed in London as part of BiS at WACK in the UK Vol.3 in August 2024, Vol.6 marked her first UK appearance as a member of ASP. NAMELESS remains on hiatus due to health issues, leaving the current live lineup at seven.

ASP’s decision to launch their first full UK tour comes after nearly two years of groundwork in the country. While they’ve steadily built their presence through collective events, “ASP in the U.K Tour” signals the group’s—and WACK’s—shift toward independent overseas activity. Full tour details are expected in the coming weeks.

ASP will release their currently untitled fifth major single on August 20th.
