BAND-MAID Announces 2026 World Tour, Budokan Finale and Post-Tour Hiatus
Japanese rock band BAND-MAID has announced its “BAND-MAID World Tour 2026,” set to begin on May 20 in Hong Kong and conclude with a two-day finale on November 13-14 at the iconic Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.
The tour will include multiple stops across Japan and Europe, with cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, and London confirmed. Performances in North America are scheduled for October, currently listed broadly as the United States and Mexico.
Following the tour, the band revealed plans to enter a short hiatus from live performances until its 15th anniversary in 2028. During what the group calls a “recharge period for world domination,” the members will continue writing and producing new music.
In addition to the tour announcement, the band has begun streaming a live performance video of “Present Perfect,” recorded during the final show of their 2025 tour.
