Two top instrumental bands based in Kyoto, jizue and NABOWA, have confirmed a lavish Billboard Live concert.

Influenced by rock and hardcore, jizue blends a soul-stirring power with the swing of jazz and lyrical melodies, while NABOWA—whose live performances have earned high praise as a live act in Asia, including appearances at major domestic and international festivals, a three-city Taiwan tour, and a Hong Kong headlining show—has also gained strong acclaim.

These two groups released a fully remote-produced collaborative album, Sketch, in 2020 to support local Kyoto- and Osaka-area live houses that were forced to cancel events and suspend operations during the pandemic.

The stage this time will also showcase the skills honed there, along with a one-of-a-kind groove that will leave the audience spellbound.

Moreover, the live format of this show, “BACK TO BACK LIVE,” is a luxurious collaboration stage in which the acts perform alternately on a single stage—not as a traditional bill with competing acts.

A must-see, precious performance for all music fans—don’t miss it.
