Half man, half wolf, all rock phenomenon! MAN WITH A MISSION will embark on the MARKING NEW GROUND<\/em> tour this May, bringing their high?octane live show to cities across North and South America.  The Japanese rockers are hitting markets they have never headlined before. Designed as the first step in a bold new chapter for the band, the tour sees the wolfpack deepening their global footprint while connecting with a new generation of fans who discovered them through their iconic anime theme songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The May run begins in the United States with a stop in San Francisco on May 14 at August Hall, followed by a special appearance at Los Angeles\u2019 ZIPANGU Festival on May 16. From there, MAN WITH A MISSION heads to Mexico for two long?awaited dates: Monterrey\u2019s Show Center Complex on May 19 and Mexico City\u2019s legendary Foro Teambro on May 21. The tour then moves further south to Chile for a show at Santiago\u2019s Coliseum Theatre on May 24, before closing out in Brazil at S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Carioca Club on May 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARKING NEW GROUND<\/em> focuses on the breadth of MAN WITH A MISSION\u2019s catalog, spotlighting the songs that have defined their international rise. Central to the live set are three of their most recognizable tracks: \u201cKizuna no Kiseki,\u201d the explosive collaboration opening theme for Demon Slayer<\/em>, \u201cMerry?Go?Round,\u201d which powered the fifth season of My Hero Academia and \u201cRaise your flag,\u201d the adrenaline?charged opening theme to Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron<\/em>?<\/em>Blooded Orphans<\/em>. These songs, along with fan favorites from across their discography, anchor a show built for both die?hard followers and new fans arriving from the anime world.<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarist, vocalist and rapper Jean?Ken Johnny sees the MARKING NEW GROUND <\/em>tour as a statement of intent for where MAN WITH A MISSION is headed next. \u201cWe are very proud to announce and more than looking forward to this upcoming tour. Hope to see our fellow fans and new friends at each and every country, especially the two new areas which are the first time for us to visit, Chile and Brazil.  Those who always waited for us, those who discovered us recently, thank you all, we are The MAN WITH A MISSION and here we come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consisting of Tokyo Tanaka (vocals), Jean?Ken Johnny (guitar, vocals, rap), Kamikaze Boy (bass), DJ Santa Monica (DJ) and Spear Rib (drums), MAN WITH A MISSION has grown into one of Asia\u2019s most successful rock exports. Their catalog spans hit singles, EPs and albums that fuse rock, metal, hip?hop and electronic elements, while their music has featured in films, TV dramas, games, sports broadcasts and global campaigns in addition to anime. With MARKING NEW GROUND<\/em>, the band are using their hard?won catalog as a bridge into new territories and future releases, inviting fans to dive deep into their body of work ahead of the shows.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets for all dates on the MARKING NEW GROUND<\/em> North & South American tour will be available via local ticket outlets; further information, including venue and ticketing details for San Francisco on May 14, will be announced shortly. Fans are encouraged to secure tickets early due to limited capacities and the band\u2019s history of rapid sell?outs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
