Show Details
On May 15, Japanese experimental rock stalwarts Boris announced a special anniversary concert via their Instagram handle (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ8lq-0TQo1/). Titled “ENTER The REDSUN” 1st ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL Vol.1, the two-act event takes place on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at live house REDSUN in Kanazawa. Alongside Boris, veteran noise-rock outfit GREENMACHiNE joins the bill—marking both REDSUN’s first anniversary and GREENMACHiNE’s 30th year.
Ticket Information
Advance tickets are priced at ¥3,500, with door sales set at ¥4,000 (plus a ¥500 drink fee). Sales open on Thursday, May 29 at 20:00 JST through Livepocket and Zaiko; links are available in the band’s “Shows” highlight on Instagram. Whether fans purchase via Livepocket or Zaiko, entry numbers are assigned in parallel, ensuring parallel queue order. All-standing general admission applies; tickets are required for those in middle school or older, and children under elementary age will not be admitted.
Band History And Context
This marks Boris’s first two-man performance since 2014, when they paired up with Coaltar of the Deepers at Koenji HIGH. The band’s Instagram post notes “2014年以来の2マン公演” (first two-man show since 2014). Over the past decade, Boris have become known for their genre-fluid approach—shifting from doom metal to drone to noise rock—making each collaborative set a unique showcase of heavy sounds.
Earlier this spring, the group rolled out another major announcement for “MIXED HELL 2025,” a multi-stage festival at Kawasaki CLUB CITTA’ on June 22, 2025 (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJTnA5NzfVx/). That lineup, billed as a gathering of contemporary metal and extreme artists, included Boris as headliners. The REDSUN show further cements their summer itinerary with an intimate two-act format.
Greenmachine, formed in 1995 in Tokyo by bassist Shin and drummer Fumio, have cultivated a loyal following with their relentless grindcore approach. Celebrating their 30th anniversary, the band has toured across Japan and Europe, often sharing festival billings with Boris. This joint appearance offers fans a rare occasion to experience both bands back-to-back in a dedicated club setting.
Looking Ahead
As Boris and GREENMACHiNE prepare to unleash high-volume performances in Kanazawa, fans are advised to secure tickets early. REDSUN’s limited capacity and the all-standing layout mean advance booking is highly recommended. A year after opening its doors, REDSUN has already hosted a string of punk, hardcore, and experimental acts—this anniversary show promises to be one of its heaviest yet.
With the “ENTER The REDSUN” special on the horizon and festival dates around the corner, Boris continue to underline their status as one of Japan’s most adventurous underground forces. Keep an eye on their Instagram highlights for any on-sale updates or lineup tweaks, and get ready to dive into a night of pure rock intensity at Kanazawa’s favorite live spot.
From the celebration of REDSUN’s opening to GREENMACHiNE’s milestone anniversary, this co-headlining event is positioned as a must-see for fans of chamber-level noise and avant-metal. Don’t miss your chance to witness two legendary acts sharing the stage on August 9—tickets go live May 29 at 20:00 JST.
