Not sure how many people are interested, but The Pillows are performing in NYC on June 22nd at The Knitting Factory. You can buy your tickets now at http://knittingfactory.com/index.php for like $15, probably with one of those handling fees. I don't listen to them myself, but I know they're pretty popular so I expect their tickets to go fast so get them while you can.
Also, not sure how many are into Moi Dix Mois (Mana, leader singer of former Malice Mizer) but they're also touring this year in the US for their personal first time. They have a show scheduled in NYC on July 7th. The location hasn't been announced yet, but you can get to anywhere in NYC so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. "Buy your tickets now at PlaJapan (http://plajapan.com/), Ticketmaster (http://ticketmaster.com/), and at all Ticketmaster retail locations (i.e. Tower Records).
PlaJapan charges considerably less for shipping and processing which will save you plenty in the long run. Also, you'll get your ticket processed immediately and shipped out in 1-2 business days." (Info off of Tokyo-nights.com).
Because the NYC gig doesn't have a venue yet, you can't buy your ticket now. But if there's any interest, when they announce it, I'll post it up.
This is kind of out-dated info seeing how all of it is sold out already and it's all in California, but Hyde will have a solo tour during the first two weeks of July. It'll be his first solo tour in the US. Considering the first 4 tour dates sold out really fast, and two more were added and those went just as quickly I believe, Hyde should have an idea of how well he'll do here with or without L'Arc and maybe one day when he gets more time (since he's touring Japan right now), he'll play on the East Coast ::dreams::
Umm not sure if people already know or not, but Dir en Grey is touring with Korn/Deftones this summer for the Famliy Values Tour. Lawn seats will be only $9.99 (at most shows) which is a really nice price for like 6 bands or something. The other bands are Stone Sour, Bury Your Dead, and Flyleaf

D’espairs Ray also has another concert at CBGBs on June 17th. They’ll be performing with 5 other bands. It says they “should” take the stage first at 8 PM, but who knows? The tickets should be sold through CBGB here: http://www.ticketweb.com/user/?region=nyc&query=schedule&venue=cbgb The tickets aren’t available yet, but they will be probably this upcoming week maybe?
Okay, I’ve done enough searching for one night. If anyone knows of any performances, just leave it in a comment or something. If anyone want to go to any of these let me know because as of now the only ones I’m really eyeing are The Pillows and D’espairs Ray’s CBGB’s concert. Okay, until another time, take care. Bye.
