Age Factory, ENTH, and Paledusk Announce Second Joint Tour Across Japan
Three Japanese bands—Age Factory, ENTH, and Paledusk—are bringing their collaborative "GOBLIN" tour back for a second year. The tour hits five major cities this summer and fall, with dates at Zepp venues across Japan.
After a successful first run last year, the three-band collaborative tour "GOBLIN" is returning in 2026. Age Factory, ENTH, and Paledusk will visit five Japanese cities from August through September, performing at Zepp venues in each location.
The tour kicks off August 6 at Zepp Sapporo in Hokkaido, followed by stops in Nagoya (August 17), Osaka (August 24), Fukuoka (August 27), and Tokyo's Zepp Haneda (September 2).
According to organizers, the three bands—which span different genres and musical styles—first joined forces after encountering each other at various tours and festivals. That initial chemistry led to the inaugural "GOBLIN" tour, which was well-received enough to warrant a comeback. The second edition expands to these five key markets across the country.
Tickets are available through a pre-sale lottery via Ticket Pia, with the window running through May 31. Standard ticket purchasing will follow after the pre-sale period ends.
The "GOBLIN" tour concept reflects a growing trend in the Japanese music scene where artists from different backgrounds collaborate to create unique live experiences. Rather than competing, the three bands are using these shows to introduce their fanbases to each other while delivering a diverse setlist across their combined catalogs.
For fans in these five regions, this is a rare opportunity to catch all three acts in a single evening. Each band brings its own identity to the stage, making the tour an appealing draw for listeners across multiple musical tastes.
