ざあざあ promotes MASKED 2026 live shows

ザアザア used its official X account on May 21 to promote “MASKED 2026,” a two-day visual-kei live event scheduled for May 22 and May 23 in Tokyo. The post directed fans to performances at Spotify O-EAST, Spotify O-WEST and duo MUSIC EXCHANGE in Shibuya, and listed the May 22 lineup that includes MUCC and lynch. alongside the band. The event itself was not newly announced on Thursday. Official event pages and artist schedules published in February had already set out the dates, venues, opening time of 11:00 a.m. and start time of 12:00 p.m. for the May 22 program, with the same three Shibuya venues named in the band’s social post. ### Which dates and venues are attached to the shows? MASKED 2026 is scheduled for Friday, May 22, 2026, and Saturday, May 23, 2026, across Spotify O-EAST, Spotify O-WEST and duo MUSIC EXCHANGE in Shibuya, Tokyo. (shibuya-o.com) The official event site for overseas attendees and venue listings both show the same three locations for the two-day run. The Shibuya venue listing identifies May 22 as “DAY.1” and shows the event under the MASKED 2026 name. (xaa-xaa.site) A separate schedule entry on ザアザア’s official website also places the band on the May 22 bill at those venues. ### Who is on the May 22 lineup with ザアザア? The May 22 lineup includes ザアザア, MUCC and lynch., according to the venue schedule and artist pages. Other acts listed for DAY.1 include キズ, CODOMO DRAGON, XANVALA, BugLug, RAZOR and NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, among others. (shibuya-o.com) GekiRock and VISUNAVI reported in February that MASKED 2026 would feature 57 acts across the two days. Those reports named MUCC, lynch., Sadie and D’ESPAIRSRAY among the billed participants and described the event as a larger edition than the prior year’s show. (shibuya-o.com) ### Was this a new announcement or a fresh push before the show? The May 21 X post functioned as a day-before promotional push rather than a first reveal. (shibuya-o.com) Event details, including venue names and the May 22-23 dates, were already available on official artist and event pages published on February 26. The timing matters because the first day of MASKED 2026 begins on May 22. By posting on May 21, ザアザア was amplifying a confirmed lineup and ticketed live schedule already in circulation. (gekirock.com) That is an inference based on the earlier publication dates on the official pages and music news items. ### Where were tickets and access details published? The official MASKED site published a details page for overseas attendees that includes the two dates, venues and access information. ザアザア’s own schedule page also carries the event listing, while the Shibuya venue network’s schedule page shows the DAY.1 artist roster. (xaa-xaa.site) Music news outlets also reported that first-round ticket applications had opened when the full lineup was unveiled in February. (gekirock.com) VISUNAVI said the event was handling access for both domestic and overseas audiences. ### What happens next in Tokyo? May 22 is the first day of MASKED 2026 in Shibuya, with doors scheduled to open at 11:00 a.m. and performances to start at 12:00 p.m., according to official listings. (shibuya-o.com) The second day follows on May 23 at the same three venues, with the full event information available through the MASKED site, venue schedule and participating artists’ pages.
