Tickets for Japan¹s influential rock band L¹Arc-en-Ciel¹s only London show
go on sale this Thursday, 17th November. Regular tickets start at £50 and
VIP packages are available from www.aeglive.co.uk/artists/larc-en-ciel

Inspiring a fanatical following, L’Arc tend to travel like a big football
club, taking the away fans with them. They will bring some of their most
passionate supporters from around the world to brighten up London in April,
turning the O2¹s IndigO2 into an authentic J Rock pilgrimage for fans of the
genre hungry to see the real thing.

L’Arc-en-Ciel are Japanese rock royalty, returning in May 2011 from a 3 year
hiatus with sell out shows in aid of Japanese Tsunami relief. The band
celebrated their 20th anniversary with the two-night show ³20th

L¹Anniversary LIVE² at Tokyo¹s Ajinomoto Stadium to 100,000 fans, proving
their position at the centre of Japanese Music.

L’Arc are now currently out on their 20th anniversary tour and as ever are
proving themselves one of J Rock’s more controversial groups.

New shots to promote the single X X X (‘Kiss, Kiss, Kiss’) shows the all
male four piece doing just that, with each other, keeping a tradition that
has kept fans guessing for 2 decades. That includes their occasional
sojourns as “P’UNK-EN-CIEL” – when members swap instruments and become a
punk band, releasing a string of singles as their alter egos.

Formed in 1991 in Osaka, they have since sold 30 million records and set all
sorts of Japanese live benchmarks.

Specializing in epic pop rock, the band count Nirvana, Radiohead, Ozzy
Osbourne and David Sylvian among their diverse influences. Released earlier
this year, their spectacular box set ‘TWENITY’ runs the full gamut, from
early work to their most recent offerings, taking in goth rock, to jangly
guitar pop reminiscent of The Cure’s lighter moments and U2-esque stadium
anthems.
