First Japan Visit in 8 Years! Pretty Maids Confirmed for 'FULL METAL JAPAN 2026 ～Powered by WACKEN～'

The 'FULL METAL JAPAN 2026 ～Powered by WACKEN～' will be held at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa on October 24th (Sat) and 25th (Sun). We are pleased to announce that Pretty Maids will perform on Day 2, October 25th. When the festival was first announced, it created a massive buzz among Japanese metal fans. Following the announcement of Powerwolf's first-ever Japan performance as part of the second lineup, social media was flooded with excitement. The lineup continues to grow, living up to the spirit of the world's largest hard rock/heavy metal festival, 'Wacken Open Air.' Pretty Maids, the Danish melodic power metal legends who debuted in the 80s and have maintained steady popularity in Japan, are the latest addition. Their 1984 debut album, 'Red, Hot and Heavy,' saw explosive popularity in Japan early on. This will be their first visit to Japan in about eight years, since November 2018. Ticket lottery applications will begin on May 31st (Sun) at 12:00 PM via Ticket Pia. Please look forward to this new metal festival this autumn.
