NIGHTMARE have announced the dates for their upcoming “The WORLD TOUR 極東乱心天國” (Kyokutou ranshin tenkoku / Far East Madness Heaven) tour. Despite the name the tour only announced dates for Europe, so if it’s really going to be a world tour or if it is merely the name that has been chosen is unclear at the moment.
What we do know is that the tour is organized by Envol Prod, and will take place in January of 2025. During the tour they will visit Finland, the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Spain. The schedule is as follows:
01/18 (Sat) | Helsinki (FI) | Äaniwalli
01/19 (Sun) | London (UK) | O2 Islington Academy
01/21 (Tue) | Paris (FR) | Alhambra
01/23 (Thu) | Cologne (DE) | Die Kantine
01/25 (Sat) | Hamburg (DE) | Grosse Freiheit
01/28 (Tue) | Munich (DE) | Feierwerk
01/30 (Thu) | Budapest (HU) | A38
01/31 (Fri) | Warsaw (PL) | Proxima
02/02 (Sun) | Madrid (ES) | Chango Club
A little information about the band and tickets for all tour dates are available through the website of Envol Prod – though checking the local ticket distributors is never a bad idea (for example the dates in Germany have tickets available on me-shop.net, but also through Eventim).
雪 (Yuki) is the owner and driving force behind Arlequin.
She originally started the project in 2009 as a photographer under the name of Arlequin Photography, but developed an interest in journalism and translation ever since. Because of these interests interviews and reviews were added to the project, until it eventually hit the limits as a "photographer" in 2021, and Arlequin Magazine was added to the mix.
雪 (Yuki) is a native Dutch speaker with a graphic design degree, which means she is also the main person behind Arlequin Creations.
After all these years she is still the main person who does interviews the interviews and live photos that you see on Arlequin, but also a large chunk of the reviews and behind-the-scenes work and communication goes through her.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
