AAA will continue to perform in next fan club tour, albeit with slight twist!

Popular multi-gender group AAA announced that, despite recent events, their fan club only tour “AAA FAN MEETING ARENA TOUR 2019 ～FAN FUN FAN～” will be continuing as originally planned.

The tour, which will start June 15 in Miyagi’s Sekisui Heim Super Arena, will plan to hit twenty-one different venues across eight prefectures.

Members of the fan club who are fans of Urata and had previously bought tickets will be able to receive refunds for said tickets.
