VAMPS -- composed of HYDE, from the famous Japanese band L’Arc~en~Ciel, and K.A.Z, from the groups Oblivion Dust and HIDE with Spread Beaver -- will be returning to NYC after their 2009 sold-out show at New York’s Irving Plaza. Now on their third consecutive year of touring, VAMPS is playing a 40+ show tour in Japan this summer which will extend into their VAMPS Live 2010 World Tour this fall. VAMPS will be performing at New York’s Roseland Ballroom on Saturday, October 9, but before that, they'll be at the New York Anime Festival and New York Comic Con for a special Q&A session with fans on October 8! Tickets for the VAMPS show at Roseland are on sale now at www.livenation.com.
