**Tuesday 7th May** I am hosting a big music event at TOKIO TOKYO in Shibuya! I brought in some of the most fun and unique poppy acts I know to create the best party atmosphere where you can dance, meet people, and get your drinks. I want to make the best of Tokyo music as accessible as possible, so please come on down and see what this city has to offer.
Entrance is only ¥1000 (1 drink included!!!) + tips for artists. No reservations, feel free to just rock up.
