This is news that should delight fans of J-Rock and Japanese music. Queen Bee (Ziyoou-vachi), one of the most distinctive acts on the Japanese scene, has confirmed a brief European tour dubbed “QUEEN BEE LIVE”. Only two cities are on the itinerary: London and Paris. The band will stop at the Bataclan, on Sunday, July 26, 2026, for a show that will mark their very first visit to France.
Founded in 2009, Queen Bee has carved out a distinctive voice at the crossroads of rock, pop, punk, and experimental music. Fronted by the magnetic Avu-chan, the band is renowned for its electrifying live performances and a clearly defined artistic identity. In Japan, its albums consistently top the charts and concerts frequently sell out.
In recent years, Queen Bee has also boosted its international profile through a string of collaborations with Japanese animation. The group is behind "Mephisto," the closing theme for the breakout anime Oshi no Ko, as well as "VIOLENCE" for Chainsaw Man, "Fire" for Dororo, "HALF" for Tokyo Ghoul, "01" for Undead Unluck, and "HIGH FLAME," the opening for the third season of Fire Force.
Most recently, the group unveiled its new EP « PERSONAL », released on 11 February 2026. The title track was chosen as the closing theme for the second season of Hell's Paradise (Jigokuraku), the adaptation of Yuji Kaku's manga. Originally published on Shonen Jump+, it has sold over 6.4 million copies worldwide and sits among the most popular series of recent years. To mark the release, Queen Bee also dropped a video clip for « PERSONAL ».
