Japan's ONE OK ROCK to Be Direct Support on 5 Seconds of Summer's Upcoming Summer Tour
By: Caryn Robbins May. 16, 2016
Celebrated Japanese rock superstars ONE OK ROCK will hit the road this summer as direct support for 5 Seconds of Summer. The tour kicks off July 1st in Connecticut and crisscrosses the U.S. through mid-September. Please see below for all tour dates. ONE OK ROCK toured the U.S. last fall selling out their own headline shows before joining up with All Time Low, winning themselves a legion of new fans from coast to coast.
The band is touring in support of their debut American release, 35xxv Deluxe Edition, which was released in October and peaked at No. 17 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart. Formed in 2005, ONE OK ROCK is one of Japan's most beloved rock bands, fusing emo, rock, and metal into their sound. They have released seven albums in Japan, the last four of which have all charted in the Top 5, including 35xxv, which debuted at No. 1. 35xxv was produced by John Feldmann (Good Charlotte, All Time Low), who also mixed ONE OK ROCK'S 2013 album JinseixBoku=, and mixed by renowned engineer Chris Lord-Alge. The U.S. Deluxe Edition of the album features all English language vocals, plus two bonus tracks not available on the Japanese edition and altered artwork. The media have praised 35xxv Deluxe Edition: "The Tokyo-based quartet spare no effort mining elements of metal, pop punk and hardcore, further refining these influences into songs that are charming as they are jarring. At heart, ONE OK ROCK exudes a passion and focus that easily makes many of their peers (and influences) seem completely jaded." -- Alternative Press MagazineCatch ONE OK ROCK on tour now:
