Below is the full statement as released by the band, outlining plans for the 2026 world tour, a temporary hiatus in 2027, and what lies ahead on the road to their 15th anniversary.
"Important Announcement from BAND-MAID for Our Masters & Princesses
Thank you for supporting BAND-MAID.
We have an Important Announcement from BAND-MAID for Our Masters & Princesses
Today, we announced the details for the “BAND-MAID WORLD TOUR 2026”.
Following the final two-day live at Nippon Budokan, BAND-MAID will take a brief hiatus from live performances to prepare for our world domination.
Therefore, there will be no BAND-MAID live performances scheduled for the entire 2027.
During the hiatus, each member will continue to gather new inspiration and work on productions.
BAND-MAID has been able to continue its activities this far solely because of everybody who always supports us.
We sincerely apologize to everyone looking forward to our live performances.
In 2028, BAND-MAID will celebrate its 15th anniversary.
In that commemorative year, we will return as five members, even more powerful than before.
We are truly looking forward to perform Okyuji with you once again.
We sincerely hope for your understanding until we see you again and would like to ask for your patience for a little while.
Finally, in this year's “BAND-MAID WORLD TOUR 2026,” we will pour all our gratitude for the truly warm support we've received from everyone into every single Okyuji.
We look forward to seeing you all around the world with all our hearts.
BAND-MAID"
