Verve are headed to the
Summer Sonic Festival in Japan. Summer Sonic is an annual two-day music festival held between Chiba (on the outskirts of the Tokyo Metropolis, amongst large motorways and high-rise buildings) and Osaka. The majority of the bands playing in Osaka the first day go to Tokyo the following day and vice versa. The line-up contains many Japanese rock musicians from both major and indie record companies, and also international acts. This year's festival will take place on August 9 (Saturday) and 10 (Sunday).
