L'arc~en~Ciel to play concert in London!

Some pretty big news by all accounts given how much we like this band, but Japanese rockers L'arc~en~ciel have revealed they are set to embark on a world tour at some point in the near future (meaning in 2012) as part of their 20th Anniversary "L'Anniversary" celebratory world tour.

The band have confirmed on their website (see screenshot below) that the world tour will be stopping in Europe, but this time aside from Paris (where they played their inaugural show in Europe back in May of 2008) they will be playing a concert in good old London, England!

No more information is currently available at this time. But believe us when we say we WILL keep you updated on this.

Aaside from various dates in Japan, as one would expect, the tour will be going to the following locations -
