Visual kei pioneer KAMIJO will hold The Vampyre Masquerade, a Halloween Rock Show and DJ Masquerade, at Webster Hall in New York City on October 31st. The two-part event couples a solo concert with a late-night masquerade featuring special guest Mana of MALICE MIZER and Moi dix Mois, with DJ SiSeN on the decks.
The event is billed as a “dark and enchanting vampire ballroom filled with live performances, theatrical visuals, and aristocratic gothic atmosphere”. It follows KAMIJO’s relocation to Los Angeles in summer 2025 and his signature US debut, SANCTUS OF THE DAMNED, set for July 2026.
Part I is KAMIJO’s solo Halloween Rock Show, with part II bringing the DJ Masquerade together with special guests Mana and DJ SiSeN.
Mana, the MALICE MIZER guitarist, Moi dix Mois leader, and founder of the Moi-même-Moitié fashion label is one of the foundational figures of visual kei and the Gothic Lolita scene. KAMIJO worked as a roadie for MALICE MIZER under Mana before forming LAREINE, and the two shared the stage at KAMIJO’s MASTERPIECE grand final at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in 2025.
DJ SiSeN, a Harajuku fashion figure of the 2000s and 2010s, event organiser, and musician, came up through Tokyo’s underground club scene, DJing across club nights and conventions in Japan and the United States.
General sale opens on June 26th at 12:00 PM EDT, following an artist presale reserved for members of the KAMIJO Secret Society “The Vampyre Masquerade”.
A VIP Package will be announced at a later date, and will include an after-rock-show photo, Party VIP Area access, a champagne toast, and a variety of surprises. The package does not include show or party tickets.
