Visual kei veterans D’ESPAIRSRAY have confirmed their first European tour since 2010 with five club shows across five cities in March 2027. The dates were revealed on July 11th, one day before the band’s appearance at B7KLAN J-ROCK FEST in Paris.
Part of the D’ESPAIRSRAY WORLD TOUR 2027 “REVENANT”, the tour opens at Tavastia in Helsinki on March 8th, before continuing to Warsaw, Berlin, Cologne, and Paris. The shows will be the band’s first return to European stages since their 2010 Human-Clad Monsters world tour.
The tour follows the 2025 reunion of the group’s original lineup of HIZUMI, Karyu, ZERO, and TSUKASA. Recent months have seen the release of ‘RAPTURE’, the band’s first single in 16 years, a sold-out headline show at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo, and the announcement of international dates in Hong Kong, Chile, and Mexico.

Formed in 1999, D’ESPAIRSRAY were among the most internationally minded visual kei acts of the 2000s. They toured Europe and North America at a time when overseas appearances remained rare for Japanese bands, playing Wacken Open Air in 2006, Jrock Revolution in Los Angeles in 2007, and the Taste of Chaos US tour in 2008.
Further details, including ticket release dates, have yet to be announced.
