Kanagawa Japan’s #1 rock vocalist DEATHRO returns to Aotearoa in September 2026, presented by Wrought Material and Chain Punk Baddie. Beloved by the Tokyo punk underground, DEATHRO combines new wave, post-punk, and
J-Rock into high-energy BEATROCK in the 1980’s Japanese tradition.
DEATHRO’s performance is ecstatic and powerful, while the lyrics are grounded in working class politics. DEATHRO has a punk mind and expresses it. Amongst messages of solidarity, freedom of expression, and love for his hometown Kanagawa, DEATHRO tackles the injustice of colonisation and the oppression of the Palestinian people.
