VAMPS TO PLAY L.A. + NYC IN DECEMBER WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

VAMPS are on their way. The dynamic duo of the Japanese rock scene will grace US soil for only two shows this year, taking the stage at the iconic House of Blues in Los Angeles on December 4th and at the soon-to-be-closed Roseland in New York City on December 8th.

Living Dead Lights will serve as the special guest for the Los Angeles show at the iconic House of Blues on December 4, while Killcode have come aboard for the NYC show at the soon-to-be-closed Roseland on December 8. Sid from Slipknot will be the guest DJ at both the L.A. and NYC shows.

These VAMPS gigs are shaping up to be "can't miss" and "must see" events -- these are no mere concerts! The band, which is pretty much bigger than God in its native Japan, camping out at several-thousand seat venues for week-long residencies, has the U.S. squarely in its sights, promising a night to remember on each coast.

These Vamps gigs are shaping up to be "can't miss" and "must see" events - these are no mere concerts! The band, which is pretty much bigger than God in its native Japan, camping out at several-thousand seat venues for week-long residencies, has the US squarely in its sights, promising a night to remember on each coast. Vamps plan to leave a mark.

The duo last crashed American shores over three years ago. They are back supporting Sex Blood Rock N' Roll, a collection of hard-charging, addictively catchy rock anthems available now via Spinefarm Records in the US. Since these two shows mark the band's sole US appearances, fans are traveling far and wide to catch the band, coming from as far away as Michigan and Florida!

The band is beyond excited to make a return to the US. Commenting on the adrenaline rush and the excitement they feel as performers taking the stage and seeing their overseas fans, the duo said, "A concert is like a living, breathing thing. You never know what's going to happen. We can't wait have that experience with our fans on both coasts again! Our American fans and American audiences are always so good at expressing themselves with us during the show, making it fun to perform in front of them."

Showing their humorous side, Hyde joked, "Can't wait to see you and bite your neck," nodding to the Vamps aesthetic, while K.A.Z. summed things up succinctly, saying "Let's have a party!"
