Brutalismus 3000 are touching down in Tokyo. The Berlin duo have built a cult around a sound that hits like hard techno with a cracked-pop brain, pulling old club references, blown-out rave energy and sharp hooks into something that feels both trashy and futuristic in the best way. Their debut album Ultrakunst pushed them even further out, earning them major praise and landing them on festival stages around the world, but the real pull has always been the same: they know how to make electronic music feel nasty, physical and fun again.
Presented by local subculture magazine sabukaru.online and Creativeman, the group behind Summer Sonic, this long-awaited Japan stop brings one of Europe’s most talked-about live acts to the city with special guests still to come. If you like your nights loud, a little unhinged and impossible to stand still through, this one’s already speaking for itself. Tickets go on sale April 26 and will set you back ¥9,000.
