Kikuoland: Above All Bounds
Kikuo to perform in Budapest for the first time.
Schedule
Japanese electronic artist Kikuo will bring his surreal art to Budapest as part of his Kikuoland: Above All Bounds world tour, performing at Dürer Kert on March 16.
Kikuo’s music is both dazzling and unsettling – blending sweet melodies with darker undertones. He began sharing his original songs online in the early 2000s, and in 2010 he discovered his distinctive style through the use of Vocaloid, the singing-synthesizer software best known for virtual characters like Hatsune Miku. Since then, Kikuo has become one of the most influential figures in the Vocaloid world, recognized for his unique sound and emotionally charged compositions.
Following the success of his previous world tour, Kikuoland: Go-Round – which included 41 shows across 38 cities in 19 countries – the visionary artist is once again setting out on the road, carrying his surreal songs across the globe.
His newly announced second world tour, Kikuoland: Above All Bounds, will kick off in Europe and the United Kingdom, and this spring Hungarian audiences will have the chance to experience his live performance for the very first time.
Ahead of the tour announcement, Kikuo surprised fans with a new single, “Rainborn Menoko,” which premiered during his headline appearance at YouTube Music Weekend. He has also promised that more new tracks will be released before the tour begins.
Dürer Garden
Recently moved from its original location, the Dürer is a staple of Budapest's metal scene. But don't be scared, it's worth a visit even if you just want to have a couple of drinks by the Danube. From spring, of course.
