Luna Sea concert chronology |
20th Anniversary World Tour Reboot -to the New Moon- is a concert tour by Japanese rock band Luna Sea. The tour is the first set of regular concerts given by the band in ten years since their Final Act concerts in December 2000, following a one night reunion concert in 2007 and a performance at the "hide memorial summit" in 2008.
The tour kicked off on November 27, 2010 in Bochum, Germany and will likely end on December 31 in Japan with a two-day performance in Kobe. The tour also includes a free concert under the band's original name, Lunacy, on Christmas night.[1]
Overview
After their "God Bless You ~One Night Dejavu~" concert on December 24, 2007 at Tokyo Dome and their performance at the hide memorial summit on May 3, 2008, the band started teasing a possible reunion for 2010. In May 2010 the band's official website was updated, and a series of Youtube videos were being uploaded hinting at the reunion. The last video was uploaded in late July, revealing an important announcement for August 25, when a press conference was announced.[2] On August 31, the band held a press conference in Hong Kong, confirming the reunion and their world tour schedule, where Sugizo stated that new songs could be performed during the tour. [3] Thus far three new songs titled "Days of Repetition" and "Maria" have been performed in the December 23 and 24 concerts, respectively, at Tokyo Dome. "Promised Night," now known as "Promise," was performed at the World Memorial Hall on December 30, following technical difficulties with Sugizo's violin during their performance of "Providence."
On November 30, it was announced that the band would hold a free concert at the Tokyo Dome on December 25. The band will be performing under their original name Lunacy, and there is a dress code of black clothing, reminiscent of a trend the band started back in their indie days. Old songs are expected to be played.[1] The concert will be broadcast live in 3D in 22 theaters around Japan, while the Los Angeles concert on December 4 was recorded for a future release at Japanese cinemas, also in 3D. On December 9, a two-day concert at the World Memorial Hall in Kobe for December 30 and 31 was announced, the later will be the band's first "countdown" concert.[4]
