Kagerou Reunion: VK Big Three Unite for 2026 Concert
One of Visual Kei's most anticipated reunions is finally happening. Kagerou, MERRY, and MUCC—the legendary "Big Three" of 2000s Visual Kei—will share the stage together for the first time on **July 30th, 2026**, in a special three-way collaboration billed as "Daisuke Festival!!" (大佑祭り!!). The concert marks part of MERRY's 25th-anniversary celebration series and celebrates the birthday of MERRY's Daisuke.
For those unfamiliar, these three bands defined the sound and aesthetic of early-2000s Visual Kei. MERRY emerged as pioneers of the theatrical, experimental side of the movement; MUCC crafted darker, more atmospheric soundscapes; and Kagerou brought ethereal, melodic heaviness to the table. All three bands shaped an entire generation of VK fans.
**Kagerou's return is particularly significant.** The band has been largely inactive since their disbandment, so news of their reunion has sent shockwaves through the Western VK community. Confirmed participants include members Yuana, Kazu, and Shizumi. While the vocalist situation remains unconfirmed by official sources, fan speculation points toward Tatsuro and Gara handling vocal duties—though this should be taken as rumor until an official announcement.
This isn't just a nostalgia play, either. The chemistry between these three bands created some genuinely groundbreaking moments in VK history, and reuniting them feels like watching a crucial chapter of the genre's story being rewritten live.
**Ticket and venue details are expected soon** through the official SPICE and eplus ticketing platforms (links in the source). Given the legendary status of these bands and the rarity of multi-band collaborations at this scale, tickets will almost certainly move fast.
If you've been sleeping on 2000s Visual Kei or missed these bands live the first time around, mark your calendars now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for the community.
