Tokyo-based all-girl rock band Hanabie has been making waves since 2015, when YUKINA, MATSURI, and HETTSU came together for a high school club activity. With the addition of CHIKA in May 2023, the band has evolved into a force to be reckoned with. Hanabie have announced their headline gig in The Academy, Dublin on Tuesday November 4th, 2025.
Don’t be fooled by their cute, girlish image—their sound is a hard-hitting blend of powerful shouts, heavy riffs, and unique Japanese flair, capturing fans at home and abroad. Their hit single “Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now” has amassed over 8.3 million views on YouTube and 5.1 million on TikTok.
In December 2024, HANABIE. released their latest EP, Bucchigiri Tokyo, further showcasing their dynamic range and signature style.
2023 marked the beginning of their overseas ventures, and in August 2024, they made history as the first Japanese women to perform on the main stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, USA. With a rapidly growing international following, HANABIE. is actively expanding their presence and making a bold statement on the global stage.
