An Cafe last performed in the UK in March 2014 at O2 Academy Islington, blending popular tracks with new material. The concert was highly energetic, encouraging enthusiastic audience participation. MIKU will return to London in February 2025 as a solo act, promising another intimate performance for fans.
In February 2025, MIKU, lead vocalist of An Cafe, will perform solo during his “MIKU Around the World” tour in London and Paris. This follows An Cafe’s last UK concert on March 7, 2014, at London’s O2 Academy Islington. Although the crowd was smaller than previous years, their enthusiasm was palpable, echoing the high energy and camaraderie of the performance.
An Cafe opened their 2014 show with the fan-favourite ‘Smile Ichiban Ii Onna’ and mixed in new tracks from their album ‘Hikagyaku Ziprock’. The setlist spanned the band’s history, showcasing hits like ‘Amazing Blue’ and ‘Kimi No Machi’, with well-loved older tunes prompting audience participation and lively dancing throughout.
The band’s performance demonstrated a balance between their softer pop-rock elements and heavier songs, captivating both new and long-time fans. MIKU engaged the crowd with playful routines, especially during classics like ‘Wagamama Koushinkyoku’ and newer hit ‘NATSU KOI NATSU GAME’. The culmination of the concert was the iconic ‘CherrySaku Yuuki!!’, concluding with an encore of fan-favourites ‘BondS’ and ‘MY HEART LEAPS FOR ‘C’’.
An Cafe, a prominent Harajuku dance-rock band, last toured the UK over a decade ago, long before their 2014 London performance. Their music blends catchy pop-rock with energetic performances, appealing to a broad spectrum of fans. MIKU’s upcoming solo event adds a personal touch for fans eager to relive past concerts and delve into new music from his recent projects.
An Cafe’s 2014 concert at the O2 Academy is remembered for its vibrant atmosphere, audience engagement, and a well-curated setlist that reflected the band’s evolution. The mix of older hits and newer tracks resonated with fans, fostering a sense of community and celebration. MIKU’s return to London in 2025 underscores the band’s lasting impact and connection with their audience.
