The six-girl ska group ORESKABAND is set to become the first Japanese artist to play the entire Warped Tour. The 2008 tour will visit 46 cities in North America from June 20 to August 17.
ORESKABAND participated in last year’s Warped Tour, playing in 7 cities on the West Coast. Their most recent U.S. performance was this past Saturday at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
Presale tickets for Warped Tour 2008 went on sale last Friday.
The WARPED TOUR, one of the longest-running and most successful touring music festivals in North America, features over 100 bands on their bill. The tour will kick off on June 20 starting in Pomona, CA and it will criss-cross through North America in a two month span. Daunting as this may seem, ORESKABAND is determined to meet the challenge of playing all 46 dates.
After coming back from SXSW, the girls will perform at several club shows in Tokyo and Nagoya. ORESKABAND are also confirmed to perform at several other music festivals, such as Mag Rock Festival in Shizuoka in May and “Annual SWEET LOVE SHOWER 2008” in their home town Osaka.
