hi wanted to ask about festival have dir en grey ever went festival with famous bands?

and is this chance for them to be popular?

Good questions!

I don't know if this list is exhaustive, but it's what I compiled based on a couple of sources:

2005 Rock am Ring/Rock im Park (Germany)

2005 Octopus Rock Festival (Belgium)

2006 South by Southwest (USA)

2006 Rock am Ring/Rock im Park (Germany)

2006 Loud Park Festival (Japan)

2007 Wacken Open Air/Ankkarock (Germany)

2007 M'era Luna Festival (Germany)

2007 Metal Hammer Festival (Poland)

2009 Rock am Ring/Rock im Park (Germany)

2009 Download Festival (UK)

2009 Nova Rock (Austria)

2009 MetalTown (Sweden)

2009 Maquinaria Festival (Brazil)

2010 Pentaport Rock Festival (South Korea)

2010 Sonisphere Festival (UK)

2010 Loud Park Festival (Japan)

2011 Wacken Open Air (Germany)

2012 Loud Park Festival (Japan)

2012/2013 Countdown Japan

2013 Ozzfest Japan

2014 Download Festival (UK)

2014 Nova Rock (Austria)

2014 Soundwave/Sidewaves (Australia)

2014 Porno Ultra Express (Japan)

2014/2015 Countdown Japan

2015 Rock im Revier/Rockavaria (Germany)

2015 Lunatic Fest (Japan)

2015 Rock Bandoh Festival (Taiwan)

2015 Japan Live (Mexico)

2016 Porno Ultra Express (Japan)

2017 The Great Rock'n'Roll Sekigahara 2017 (Japan)

2018 Lunatic Fest (Japan)

2019 Free-Will SLUM (Japan)

2022/2023 50th New Year Rock Festival (Japan)

2025 Sick New World (USA)

I guess this list kind of answers your other question... It certainly helps to give them exposure for a public who might be at the festival for other bands and who had never heard of Dir en grey before, but I don't think that Dir en grey is even a band that wants to become popular. Toshiya mentioned recently that they are quite comfortable staying away from the mainstream, that it doesn't fit them.

Still, it's very nice to know that DIr en grey is getting enough recognition around the world to receive invitations to festivals!

A friend and I found this book on Amazon that kinda has similar vibes to Hadestown and I got so intrigued by it that I bought it even if shipping to my area was double the product’s price.

The plot looks interesting enough and I’ll let y’all know if it does meet expectations.

Colin: I’m kind of crushing on someone, but I’m worried about telling you who it is, because you’re not going to like it

Ty: Just rip the bandage off.

Colin: It’s Lena.

Ty: Put the bandage back on.

Update for probably noone who is interested in my journey with getting back into crowds. I was abot third row this whole show! Through 3 sets, over about 5 hours!!

Sure it was to the side and it was a kind crowd (swedish metal crowds 💕) but nonetheless I did it!!

I'm fucking back bitches!!

#personal #and when i say Swedish metal crowds oin my heart i mean it #of course there's always a few assholes #but the general feel is always nice and kind #i've loved these crowds since I was 15 and alone at metaltown #i'll never stop #now watch me buy tickets to all the shows

I remember an anon asking about videos of Till playing with his injured knee, was it to you? Anyway, if you look for "Rammstein - Metaltown, Sweden 2005-07-30" on youtube, it was right after Flake ran onto him, and you can see him dragging his injured leg.

I vaguely remember being asked a few months ago, I don't know if anyone has been asked more recently. Either way, thanks for letting us know!

Poor boy, walking on knee injuries is hellish so all this other stuff added on must have been awful.
