Sigh announce US West Coast tour 2026

This summer, Japanese experimental metal band Sigh will return to the United States for a few gigs for the first time in nearly 20 years, as per MetalSucks. The band added a few more stops along the west coast to make the journey worthwhile, with the Fire In The Mountains festival in Montana this July being the primary reason for their return. Sigh will perform in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Berkeley, and Los Angeles for just one week. They will share the stage alongside Dreadnought, a progressive metal band headquartered in Denver. Sigh frontman Mirai Kawashima stated that there was a tangible sense of excitement among the band’s members regarding their return to the United States.

I am really excited that Sigh are finally touring the US again. We played at some US festivals, but the last ‘tour’ was in 2008, so this is going to be the first US tour in nearly 2 decades! I am 100% sure that now we have the strongest line-up ever during our 36-year career. Definitely you have never seen a stage like ours before. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the Asian horror theater.
