QUEEN BEE have announced their first European headline dates for this summer, with shows confirmed for London and Paris. The band will also appear at HYPER JAPAN Festival 2026 at Olympia London.
The headline shows, billed as “QUEEN BEE LIVE”, will take the three-piece to London’s Electric Ballroom on Thursday July 23rd, followed by the Bataclan in Paris on July 26th. In between those shows, QUEEN BEE are set to play HYPER JAPAN Festival 2026 on Friday July 24th at Olympia London, where they have been announced as the first artist for the 2026 edition.
Formed in Kobe in 2009, QUEEN BEE are led by vocalist and guitarist Avu-chan, whose wide-ranging vocal delivery sits at the centre of a sound spanning heavy rock, ballads and pop-driven hooks. Their catalogue has become closely tied to anime over the years, with theme songs for OSHI NO KO (‘Mephisto’), Chainsaw Man (‘VIOLENCE’), Dororo (‘Fire’), Tokyo Ghoul:re (‘HALF’), and UNDEAD UNLUCK (‘01’). Live activity outside Japan has included headline shows in Los Angeles and across Asia, alongside festival appearances in Boston and South Korea.
QUEEN BEE’s European appearances follow the release of ‘PERSONAL’, the band’s latest single and the ending theme for Hell’s Paradise Season 2. The track was released digitally on January 14th 2026, with a CD single scheduled in Japan on February 11th. The new season of Hell’s Paradise began airing in Japan on January 11th 2026, with international streaming on Crunchyroll running alongside the broadcast.
Tickets for the London and Paris headline shows go on sale on Friday January 30th at 9:00am GMT / 10:00am CET.
