There is good news for those who cannot travel to Japan to enjoy this event or in Japan and are unable to attend as it has been decided that this event will be broadcast live from the venue at the same time.
This isn’t the first time the pop rock band has decided to go live, as last December and October of the previous year, live shows were streamed online after events were postponed in the hope that they would take place in front of their fans. In December 2021, it was finally possible to hold the event with the audience, but fans who could not attend were not forgotten with the option of live broadcasting.
Live shows will be broadcast on April 85 and Michiganized through the platform Broadcast on Twitter† This live stream will be a multi-angle camera stream, using four cameras. If you can’t watch the performance live, you can view the performance archive for up to a week after the show. The show will start at 6pm JST, which is equivalent to 10am in the Netherlands and 9am in the UK. If you are looking for musical entertainment during breakfast, this might be for you.
