In conjunction with the announcement, the band also revealed new artist photos. Dressed in brand-new outfits and standing in soft light, BAND-MAID’s latest visuals convey their unwavering determination to keep moving forward as they approach their 14th year together. Fans are already eager to see when this new look will debut during future Okyuji performances.

To celebrate the release of BAND-MAID’s “ENERGETIC” customers who purchase “ENERGETIC” from PONY CANYON stores in each region will receive an exclusive original bonus item depending on the store!
The globally popular girls’ rock band BAND-MAID has announced that ticket sales have begun for the Asia and Europe dates of their upcoming “BAND-MAID WORLD TOUR 2026,” which will kick off in March.
On this tour, BAND-MAID will perform in Hong Kong, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, and London. The London show, which went on sale following an advance fan club–only presale, sold out rapidly and was subsequently upgraded to a larger venue. The new venue, Electric Brixton, has nearly double the capacity of the original location, reflecting the strong local demand and excitement. Ticket sales at the other venues are also reported to be extremely strong during the presale phase, further demonstrating BAND-MAID’s growing global support.
In addition, general ticket sales for the Hong Kong show are now underway, along with the earliest fan club lottery presale for their domestic Japan shows, including the tour final at Nippon Budokan. As high demand is expected, fans are encouraged to check the details as soon as possible via BAND-MAID’s official website and social media channels. The currently announced dates represent the first phase of the tour, with additional Japan shows set to be announced.
Beyond their headline tour, BAND-MAID has also confirmed appearances at major festivals such as Megaport Festival 2026 in Taiwan and CENTRAL MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT FESTIVAL 2026 in Yokohama. With a packed schedule of performances ahead, BAND-MAID is set to remain firmly in the spotlight throughout 2026.
BAND-MAID has announced that they will perform for the first time at Taiwan’s popular music festival, “Megaport Festival,” held on March 21 and 22.
This will be BAND-MAID’s first live performance in Taiwan since before the COVID-19 pandemic, making it very exciting news for local fans. Megaport Festival (Dagang Kaichang) has been held in Kaohsiung since 2006 and is known as one of the festivals that helped grow Taiwan’s modern music festival scene. Now in its 16th edition, it is one of the most talked-about music festivals in Taiwan. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what kind of energy will be created when BAND-MAID, now in their 13th year, performs at this important Taiwanese festival.
BAND-MAID held the final show of their “BAND-MAID TOUR 2025” on December 7 after touring for more than six months. All shows on the tour were sold out, proving their strong popularity in Japan. They have also announced the highly anticipated “BAND-MAID WORLD TOUR 2026.” So far, only Asia, Europe, and North America have been confirmed, and details have not yet been revealed. Their North American shows will be their first since a tour that included Lollapalooza Chicago, where they became the first Japanese band to appear in 13 years since X JAPAN. Their last solo shows in Europe were before the pandemic, and fans around the world have reacted with great excitement. More details are eagerly awaited.
In 2025, BAND-MAID released three anime tie-in digital singles in January, April, and July, followed by an eight-track EP titled “SCOOOOOP” in October. They also appeared at many festivals in Japan and overseas, and on December 29, they made their first appearance at one of Japan’s largest year-end music festivals, COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26. With their constant growth and energy, expectations are high to see what BAND-MAID will bring in 2026.

BAND-MAID TOUR 2025 BAND-MAID’s nationwide tour is currently underway, with nearly all shows sold out, including the BAND-MAID TOUR 2025 FINAL ROUND performance at Kawasaki CLUB CITTA. Remaining tickets for select dates are available via official lottery until August 24, 2025.
About BAND-MAID BAND-MAID is a world-renowned all-girl rock band whose fierce sound defies their maid-inspired appearance. Their hard-hitting rock has earned widespread acclaim from fans and media across the globe, with over 230 million YouTube views to date. Reaction videos from fans worldwide continue to surge, surpassing 40 million additional views. With strong support from rock and metal audiences, the band drew over 20,000 fans during their 2022 U.S. tour, solidifying their reputation as one of the most popular international girl bands today.
BAND-MAID has consistently shaken stages at major Japanese festivals while embarking on annual world tours, selling out shows across the U.S., U.K., and Europe.
In 2019, the band announced a touring partnership with global promoter Live Nation and released the album Conqueror, produced in part by legendary rock icon Tony Visconti. In 2020, they formed an alliance with United Talent Agency for U.S. representation and released Unseen World. Their Hollywood debut came in 2021 with an appearance in the Netflix film Kate. The following year, they embarked on their sold-out U.S. tour with more than 20,000 attendees, and performed as a special guest for Guns N’ Roses in Japan. In 2023, celebrating their 10th anniversary, BAND-MAID launched a global tour that included performances at four major international festivals—among them the world-renowned Lollapalooza—and capped the milestone with a triumphant headline show at Yokohama Arena.
Marking a “new chapter” in 2024, BAND-MAID released their first full-length album in three and a half years. The 14-track album features highlights such as “Bestie,” co-written with Michael Aaron Einziger (Incubus guitarist and co-writer of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up”), and “SHOW THEM,” a collaboration with Mexican powerhouse trio The Warning. The album charted high across worldwide rankings following its release.
In 2025, BAND-MAID continues their unstoppable momentum with three major anime tie-ins: “Zen” (opening theme for MAPPA’s original anime ZENSHU), “Ready to Rock” (opening theme for the TV anime Rock is a Lady’s Modesty), and “What is justice?” (ending theme for the anime TOUGEN ANKI). These placements, paired with their bold vision of “world domination,” underscore the band’s rapid global rise as they expand both their domestic and international reach.
Global rock phenomenon BAND-MAID has unveiled a special music video to mark the broadcast of the final episode of the TV anime Rock Is a Lady’s Modesty, for which they provided the explosive opening theme, “Ready to Rock.”
Set to the full version of “Ready to Rock,” the newly released video follows the anime’s storyline, showcasing key moments such as how the characters come together and the intense live performance scenes — made all the more impressive by the fact that BAND-MAID themselves handled the motion capture and recording. While the previously released non-credit opening sequence had already wowed fans with its exhilarating visuals, this special version dives deeper into the anime’s world through BAND-MAID’s dynamic sound.
As a unique tie-in that fuses BAND-MAID’s signature hard rock with anime storytelling, this special music video is a must-watch for both fans of the band and the series, serving as the perfect recap of one of this season’s most talked-about shows.
On top of this, BAND-MAID recently announced their new single “What is justice?”, which will serve as the ending theme for the upcoming anime TOUGEN ANKI. Scheduled for release on July 18, this marks their third consecutive anime tie-in over three back-to-back seasons, proving that BAND-MAID is a constant source of buzz. Fans can also join the ongoing pre-add/pre-save campaign for a chance to receive an exclusive original image from the TOUGEN ANKI × BAND-MAID collaboration — more details are available on the band’s official website and social media.
Meanwhile, the BAND-MAID TOUR 2025 continues to sell out venues across Japan. Starting June 26, advance lottery applications open for the FINAL ROUND, which includes the much-anticipated tour finale at Tokyo Garden Theater — tickets are expected to be in extremely high demand.
With no end in sight to their unstoppable momentum, BAND-MAID’s mission for WORLD DOMINATION is one you won’t want to miss.
