Japanese Rock Band tricot Postpone Europe & UK Tour Until Fall 2022

Japanese rock band tricot have made the difficult decision to postpone their upcoming tour of Europe and the United Kingdom until fall 2022, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

T​he WALKING × WALKING TOUR 2021-2022 will now begin on September 12 in Sheffield, England, with nine shows in the UK followed by 11 shows in nine countries around mainland Europe such as France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Slovakia, ending with a final date in Barcelona, Spain. Tickets for the original dates in March and April will be valid for the rescheduled dates.

tricot released their new album "Jodeki" in December 2021 and their latest single "End roll" just last week, on February 16. While the postponement of the tour may be frustrating for fans in Europe and the UK, we hope the new music will tide them over until tricot are able to visit in person.

■ tricot profile
Japanese alternative rock band tricot formed in the historical and cultural city of Kyoto on September 1, 2010. The band have developed an unusual and distinctive sound that consists of harmonic pop melodies and emotional vocals with complex rhythm. While they are sometimes referred to as a math-rock band, the members themselves are in fact not familiar with the genre; they have arrived at a unique sound of their own imagining.

tricot’s headline concerts often sell out. They have toured in many countries around the world and successfully held a total of 109 shows overseas, including three tours of Asia, two tours of Europe, a supporting slot for Pixies in the UK, and further tours in the US and UK. These dedicated musicians have an active career and devoted fan base throughout the world.
