Their speed, sound and hooks are undeniably legendary along with their captivating and unique concepts! We look forward to getting their new music out to the world!”

Herman Li adds on the tour: “We’re really looking forward to touring in the US and Canada again. We’ve prepared a new setlist with some brand-new songs that we’ll be releasing before the tour begins. Alongside these, we’ll also be playing some older songs that haven’t been on our setlist for a long time, as well as some classic favourites that are a must. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic tour!“
