Coldrain have announced their first headline tour of the UK and Europe.
They’re about to hit the road across the US in support on fourth album Vena, which was released last year via Hopeless Records.
The Japanese outfit will begin the run of dates at Backstage By The Mill, Paris, on May 9 and wrap up at Reading’s Sub 89 on the 27th of the month.
In January, Coldrain released a video for their track entitled Wrong and previously told Metal Hammer they were delighted to see the rise of Japanese bands in the West.
Frontman Masato David Hayakawa said: “It feels like, for the first time, that people from outside of Japan are excited about albums from Japanese bands and are bringing that hype. Hopefully people will now know Japan can play heavy rock music and that we do have that ability.”
Tickets for the UK and European shows are now on sale.
