Black Country, New Road released their third album Forever Howlong in April and are currently touring the world. For their highly anticipated Tokyo show in December, they’ve announced a special guest they’ve long admired: Ichiko Aoba.
Ichiko Aoba has gained worldwide acclaim for her delicate classical guitar work, angelic vocals and poetic sensibility. She has successfully performed at international festivals and major overseas tours, and even runs a bimonthly NTS radio show.
BC, NR rose from South London’s indie scene to become what The Quietus calls ‘the best band in the world’. Their 2021 debut reached UK #4, while 2022’s Ants From Up There hit #3, and their set at Fuji Rock’s White Stage that year is still talked about today. As they continue to boldly evolve their sound with their latest record, anticipation is building for how it will translate live. Don’t miss this rare collaboration.
