Once upon a time…
YOASOBI announced their ‘Never Ending Stories Tour.’
From late July through mid-August, the J-POP duo will share their tales at six North American arenas and huge festivals Lollapalooza and Osheaga.
That includes a stop at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Thursday, Aug. 6.
Their tour announcement comes in tandem with the release of the group’s forthcoming EP “E-Side 4,” which hits shelves on April 24. The mini-album will allegedly feature nine English versions of their songs. According to Broadway World, “highlights [include] previously released tracks ‘UNDEAD,’ ‘Watch me!,’ [and] ‘New me,’ as well as the brand new English version of ‘HEART BEAT.’”
New singles “ADRENA” and “BABY” are also on the track list.
Prior to this run, Ikura and Ayase last played in the U.S. on their 2024 ‘YOASOBI Live in the USA Tour.’
Toward the end of that brief outing, the energetic Tokyo natives took the stage at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. Based on our findings at Set List FM, they put on a three-act, 17-song performance, which included fan favorite tracks “Idol,” “Yoru ni Kakeru” (or “Racing Into The Night”) and “Kaibutsu” (“Monster”).
Yet, what made their show so special was the elaborate eye candy on display behind Ikura and Ayase.
“As if [their concert] wasn’t visual enough…the audience was provided with special POP UP glasses, treating them to a universe of 3D effects for the next several songs, the first of which (‘Biri-Biri’) conjured up CGI pitched somewhere between ‘Avatar’ and ‘Space Harrier’ behind the band, crescendoing with a galaxy of fireworks as Ikura danced rings around the stag,” JetWit noted in an emphatic review.
“…the variety of the effects, the earnest MC spots in English and the masterstroke of the POP OUT portion of the show was something that even top American acts haven’t come close to attempting.”
Now that sounds like a story.

YOASOBI new music
Prior to the April 24 release of “E-Side 4,” YOASOBI dropped two singles.
First was “アドレナ” or “Adrena.” The high-energy bop is a jittery, chaotic shot of adrenaline straight to the veins that we’d argue travels all the way to your feet and will have you moving until its dizzying three-minute runtime is up.
“BABY” is a bit chiller. The slinky synth pop confection has a playful, sing-song-y quality and somehow feels as light as air. Try not to smile while listening to this one. We dare you. It’s pretty much impossible.
Also, it should be noted the song was based on the short story “My Dear……” by Yasuko Aoki about wanting to tell a crush their true feelings but not being able to. Aha! That light as air feeling is butterflies. That tracks.
Huge artists on tour in 2026
Can’t make it to one of the select cities YOASOBI is hitting on their short tour this summer?
No worries.
Many of the biggest names with sensibilities somewhat similar to Ikura and Ayase will also be out and about these next few months. Here are just five of our favorites you won’t want to miss live.
• BTS
• Twice
• Monsta X
• Ive
• I-DLE
Also, make sure to check out LISA’s ‘Viva La Lisa’ Las Vegas residency, which goes down this November at Caesars Palace. We have a feeling she has something special planned.
