Now cleaning up the mess that is my soiled drawers, I’ll do my best to type without my fingers shooting off my hands and my head exploding. X Japan has confirmed that they will be playing at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago this summer, slated for August 6^th to August 8^th. Book your flight and buy your tickets now, this is happening. Drummer and founding member Yoshiki was in attendance at this year’s Grammy awards, where he made the statement. He’d walked the red carpet that night having spent much of last week in Hollywood filming several significant music videos for the songs, Jade, Rusty Nail, I.V., and Endless Rain.

Daring to be the person to underestimate the knowledge of any of you, X Japan was responsible for songs featured in CLAMP’s X series, both the film X, and its short prequel X².

This performance comes after the bands reuniting in 2007 of all its original members except their guitarist, Hideki Matsumoto, who died tragically in 1998.
