Visual-Kei [Off-topic] new livehouse "Zepp Osaka Bayside" will open

[Trombe 22025]

new livehouse "Zepp Osaka Bayside" (in Sakurajima, Konohana-ku, Osaka) will open in 2017/02, which will have larger capacity (>2800 attendants) than Zepp Namba (2513 attendants) and Zepp Tokyo (2709 attendants)

2800 is a big number... Are there any VK bands(well, excluding the obvious ones - Gazette, Diru, etc.) that play in those bigger venues?

^ Nah, Zepp livehouses (at least the Tokyo one) are not that big. For me, they've always served as a transition for up-and-coming bands from the smaller concert halls (O-WEST, O-EAST, BLITZ, Kokaido, from 500 to 2000 capacity. RIP Shibuya AX) to the bigger ones (Nakano SUN PLAZA, Tokyo Dome City Hall, Tokyo International Forum Hall A, etc, from 3000 to 5000 capacity), like "oh we're maybe finally big enough to venture into bigger venues". For Osaka, it's probably MUSE > BIG CAT > Namba Hatch > Zepp.

 

all useless information but hey
