GLAY has officially begun their nationwide hall tour, kicking off the HIGHCOMMUNICATIONS TOUR 2026 "GLAY-complete BEST" at Utsunomiya Civic Hall in Tochigi Prefecture on March 20.

The tour title suggests fans can expect a comprehensive setlist spanning the band's extensive catalog. GLAY, one of Japan's most successful rock acts, formed in 1994 and has sold over 50 million records worldwide. The quartet—consisting of TAKURO (guitar), TERU (vocals), HISASHI (guitar), and JIRO (bass)—has maintained their popularity for three decades with hits like "However" and "BELOVED."

Hall tours typically offer a more intimate concert experience compared to arena shows, allowing artists to connect more closely with their audience. For a band of GLAY's stature, choosing hall venues creates a special atmosphere where longtime fans can experience their favorite songs in a more personal setting.

The "complete BEST" subtitle indicates this tour will likely feature career-spanning material, giving both devoted followers and newer fans a chance to hear classics alongside more recent releases. GLAY's ability to consistently draw audiences across different venue sizes demonstrates their enduring appeal in Japan's competitive music scene.

With the tour now underway, fans across Japan can look forward to GLAY's signature blend of melodic rock and emotional ballads as the band continues to cement their legacy as one of J-rock's most influential groups.
