B7Klan has confirmed plans for a landmark Visual Kei event in Europe, commemorating the company’s 20 years of work with Japanese artists. The festival, titled B7KLAN J-ROCK FEST, will take place at Arena Grand Paris on July 11th and 12th 2026, bringing together ten Japanese bands and two European guests. Daily artist announcements are underway throughout December, with Azavana and JILUKA revealed as the first names on the bill.
The festival is the culmination of two decades of activity led by Torpedo Productions founder Bertrand Torpedo, who began promoting Japanese tours in 2006. In an announcement video, Torpedo described Visual Kei as a genre that has played a significant role in his work and noted the absence of a dedicated festival of this scale in Europe. The Paris event aims to address that gap and present a broad view of the scene to both long-time followers and newer audiences.
Azavana, who debuted on December 7th, formed in 2024 from the remaining members of Ashmaze. after their reorganisation. JILUKA, announced today, join the line-up as one of the most internationally active heavy bands currently operating within Visual Kei.
B7Klan will announce further artists daily at 17:00 CET.
