“The 80s sound heals (almost) all wounds: Michelle Zauner celebrates life with golden yellow indie pop full of synths and saxophone. Let the sun in!” This is how ME author Christina Mohr described Japanese Breakfast’s current album JUBILEE, which was released in June 2021, and awarded it five out of six stars. That’s why we were so excited about the Japanese Breakfast tour, which Zauner was supposed to take to Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne in March. It turns out – unfortunately not surprisingly – differently: The tour is cancelled.

Japanese Breakfast states:

“Due to lingering uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 travel protocols, we have decided to reschedule our UK and European dates from March to October 2022. All tickets will remain valid for the new shows. If you are unable to make the new date please seek a refund from your point of purchase. Unfortunately, we have been unable to reschedule shows in Cologne, Hamburg, Antwerp, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona & Copenhagen. I am truly devastated we cannot make it work at this time but I promise we will be back as soon as possible. Please seek a refund from your point of purchase.”

So, small consolation: The concerts in Hamburg and Cologne will be canceled without replacement, but there will be a new date for Berlin: On October 27, 2022, Japanese Breakfast will be allowed to perform at “Gretchen”.. Presented by Musikexpress. Further information from the organizer.
By the way, Japanese Breakfast’s JUBILEE made it to number 3 on our list of our 50 best albums of 2021. ME editor Jochen Overbeck enthused: “JUBILEE is the kind of festive mood including a warm hug that we’re getting without the big events this year and festivals needed. Keep the speech intimate, but the gesture big. “

On January 26th we launched a digital space that we set up for bands, musicians, promoters, clubs and solo self-employed people in the live music business. There everyone can communicate their concert announcements, postponements and cancellations and find out about projects, jobs and special releases. Statements can also be posted and opinions discussed.

It’s a kind of digital “bulletin board” and is intended to help the music scene get through the Covid crisis relatively unscathed.
