Muse, Esaka

The Evoken Festival is a three-day event held in Tokyo and Osaka from September 1st to 3rd. The finale in Kansai will be held at Muse, Esaka. The festival promotes melodic and fantasy-inspired metal and rock bands from around the globe. On the bill for Osaka will be Freedom Call (Germany), Twilight Force (Sweden), Derdian (Italy), Cellador (America), Power Quest (UK), and Temperance (Italy).
The event is put on by Evoken de Valhall, an organization that began in 2009 to promote melodic metal and rock in Japan, so if you are a fan of this genre then this is the gig not miss this year! For details of the event, visit ev-pro.asia where tickets for all three dates can be purchased.
