ELLEGARDEN brings back legendary tour from 22 years ago with sole Korea shows in November

Shows set for Nov. 28-29 at Seoul’s Yes24 Live Hall, confirmed as the tour’s only overseas dates

Legendary Japanese rock band 'ELLEGARDEN' is reviving the legacy of a landmark tour that shook the rock scene 22 years ago. The band has confirmed its sole Korea shows in Seoul this November, fueling intense anticipation among Korean fans.

Tour’s only overseas dates show ELLEGARDEN’s special bond with Korean fans

According to an official announcement from promoter 'MPMG', ELLEGARDEN will deliver a powerful live performance at 'Yes24 Live Hall' in Seoul on Nov. 28 and 29. The shows are part of the 'Bad For Education Tour II', which carries on the legacy of the band’s namesake tour that made a major impact in 2004.

The Seoul shows stand out as the 'only overseas dates' on a tour that will travel across Japan, making them especially rare. MPMG stressed that “for ELLEGARDEN, which has built a strong bond with Korean fans over many years, this Korea visit carries special meaning beyond that of a typical concert.”

Formed in 1998, ELLEGARDEN is a four-member band consisting of 'Hosomi Takeshi' (vocals, guitar), 'Ubukata Shinichi' (guitar), 'Takada Yuichi' (bass) and 'Takahashi Hirotaka' (drums). The band has earned steadfast support across borders and generations with its 'powerful band sound', an artful fusion of melodic punk and alternative rock. The music industry is watching as ELLEGARDEN returns to set Seoul alight once again, 22 years after the original tour.
