Nothing's Carved In Stone is gearing up for another round of their high-octane concept tour this summer. The band will hit three major Japanese cities in August for "Perfect Sounds ~Fast & Loud Tracks 2026~," a redo of last year's successful experiment in controlled chaos.

The tour makes stops in Osaka on August 6, Nagoya on August 7, and Tokyo on August 12 and 13, all at Club Quattro venues. True to the concept's name, these shows will strip down setlists to only feature the band's fastest and most aggressive tracks—no ballads, no breathing room. The final Tokyo date on August 13 is exclusive to members of the band's membership site RULE's, with pre-sale ticket access running through June 22.

Ticket options include standard admission, bundles with band merchandise, and student discounts.

Nothing's Carved In Stone formed in 2008 when ELLEGARDEN went on hiatus, bringing together guitarist Shinichi Namakatsu alongside bassist Hidekazu Hinata, drummer Takanori Ooki, and vocalist-guitarist Taku Muramatsu. The group has built a solid following over 15+ years, recently celebrating their 15th anniversary with a show at Tokyo's legendary Nippon Budokan in February 2024. They released the EP "Brightness" this May and have been touring nationally throughout the spring and summer.

Beyond the summer tour, the band has even bigger plans. Starting in September, Nothing's Carved In Stone kicks off "Hand In Hand Tour 2026," a two-band showcase bringing them together with special guests. [Alexandros] joins them for the September 30 stop in Yokohama, cinema staff takes the October 2 Nagoya date, and フレデリック (Frederic) pairs up for the October 30 Osaka show.

For fans looking to experience Nothing's Carved In Stone at full volume, the Perfect Sounds tour delivers exactly what it promises: pure, unfiltered rock intensity without any compromise.
