In support of their 20th Anniversary, L'Arc-en-Ciel

scored the band back to back #1 albums and broken numerous concert records – to
their most passionate US supporters for only the second time in 20 years,
creating an authentic J Rock pilgrimage for fans of the genre hungry to see the
real thing.

Formed in 1991 in Osaka, Japan, L'Arc-en-Ciel has mesmerized crowds since the very beginning. No matter the year, with their unique melodies and edgy sounds, the band, responding to the zeitgeist, has had a hit song to match the times. Like all great musicians, the band's music has evolved over the years and has had a lasting influence. From their early work to their most recent offerings, which ranges from Goth rock to jangly guitar pop reminiscent of The Cure's lighter moments and U2-esque stadium anthems, L'Arc-en-Ciel has continually captured audiences worldwide.
In 2004 the band made their first and only
performance in the USA (Baltimore) to an audience of 10,000 people; and has
since performed in China (Shanghai and Hong Kong), Korea (Seoul), Taiwan
(Taipei), and France (Paris), playing to millions of fans and proving that L’Arc~en~Ciel’s sound extends across
borders.
Returning in May 2011 from a three-year hiatus, the band came together for two sell-out shows in aid of Japanese Tsunami relief at Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium. The performances in front of 100,000 fans reestablished the band’s position at the center of the Japanese Music scene.
