ATARASHII GAKKO!, the dynamic vocal and dance group hailing from Japan, is set to embark on their first-ever headline tour across the UK/EU and Asia, marking a significant step towards global recognition. Tickets for the tour will be available for purchase starting at 10am local time on March 22nd via atarashiigakko.com.
Fresh off the heels of a sold-out performance at Japan’s iconic Budokan Arena, ATARASHII GAKKO! is gearing up for an extraordinary year in 2024. The tour will witness them reaching new heights as they grace the stages of renowned festivals such as Coachella, Primavera Sound, and 88rising’s Head in the Clouds Festival, where they will headline once again.
The group’s recent single, “Otona Blue,” created waves globally, garnering over 3.3 billion views on TikTok. Renowned for their innovative sound and electrifying live shows, ATARASHII GAKKO! continues to push boundaries, with their latest single “HELLO (from The Tiger’s Apprentice)” making its debut on the American MEDIABASE Top 40 radio charts.
“We are thrilled to announce our Europe and Asia leg of the world tour! 2024 is shaping up to be an incredible year, and we can’t wait to connect with all of you. AG! to the world!” expressed the group in anticipation of the upcoming tour.
The tour announcement follows a string of critically acclaimed singles, including “Toryanse,” “HELLO (from The Tiger’s Apprentice),” and “Tokyo Calling.” ATARASHII GAKKO! made their US late-night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, showcasing their distinctive performance style. They also captivated audiences on their first worldwide SEISHUN Tour, which sold out across the U.S., and at prestigious music festivals like Mexico City’s Corona Capital Festival and 88rising’s Head In The Clouds Music & Arts Festival in New York and Los Angel
ATARASHII GAKKO!, which translates to “NEW SCHOOL” in Japanese, consists of four talented young women who are reshaping the concept of a girl group. Their unique style blends elements of Japanese youth culture from the past and present, with choreography influenced by Japanese butoh dance, heavy metal, and hip-hop. Musically, ATARASHII GAKKO! defies categorization, fusing modern J-Pop with elements of Showa-era kayokyoku, rap, punk, and dance music.
