Half man, half wolf, all rock force MAN WITH A MISSION launch the “MARKING NEW GROUND” tour this May, bringing their high-octane live show across North and South America. The run marks a bold new chapter as the Japanese rock phenomenon headlines cities they have never played before, expanding their global footprint while connecting with fans who discovered them through iconic anime themes.
The tour kicks off May 14 in San Francisco at August Hall, followed by a special appearance at Los Angeles’ ZIPANGU Festival on May 16. The wolfpack then heads to Mexico for dates in Monterrey at Show Center Complex on May 19 and Mexico City at Foro Teambro on May 21. From there, the band storms Santiago’s Coliseum Theatre on May 24 before closing May 27 in São Paulo at Carioca Club.
Central to the setlist are defining tracks including “Kizuna no Kiseki” from Demon Slayer, “Merry Go Round” from My Hero Academia and “Raise your flag” from Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. These anthems, alongside deep cuts from across their catalog, anchor a show built for die-hard followers and anime-first newcomers alike. The energy is relentless and the scope is global.
Jean Ken Johnny says, “We 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.”
