But their time in Japan won't be finished after that, as it has been announced that they will perform on the Saturday of MAN WITH A MISSION's upcoming outdoor festival, set to take place at Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata on Saturday August 29 and Sunday August 30.
The wolf pack rock band MAN WITH A MISSION turned 10 years old on February 9, 2020. To celebrate this milestone, the band announced a 10th anniversary project entitled MAN WITH A “10th” MISSION for which they have lots of exciting things planned for fans. "THE MISSION" is part of this, the first ever outdoor music festival created by the band. Artists from around the world who are close to the band will make up the line-up. The main stage of the festival will be the Green Stage of Fuji Rock Festival 2020 which will take place one week prior to THE MISSION. MAN WITH A MISSION and Zebrahead performed together at Download Festival and Summer Sonic last year, and the two bands collaborated on the song Out of Control. In a statement released on their official Twitter page in Japanese, Zebrahead explained that they have had their full attention on writing music so they can put out great music. They said they are "stoked" to be performing in Japan. Information
