The Gazette, first founded in 2002, is a visual kei band that has toured the globe but for some reason never quite hit the states. 2016 marks the year they fix that with four shows, two of which are in California. Tickets range from $50 to $200 depending on if you want VIP. The tour was hinted at by snippets of shows popping up and quickly disappearing from venue ticket sites. It was finally made official
Their latest album, Dogma, was released in August 2015. It is the culmination of more than thirteen years of music and as hard as you might want without getting too harsh. The entire project is titled “DARK AGE” and consists of “DOGMA” itself and a series of single releases and tours following it. The American leg of the tour is designated the 7th MOVEMENT as part of “World Tour 16 – DOGMA – TROIS.”
