The Japanese Popstars have been announced as support act for Orbital’s European tour! “This support slot is something most people in dance music dream of,” says the band. “We are delighted and hope we can do ourselves proud and learn from the whole experience”.
If that wasn’t enough, they have also been tapped to provide music for an Italian Formula One team. “We were invited out to the testing this year in Jerez having met the team in Milan last year. It was great to deliver the bespoke piece of music and see our name on the car. It was also exciting and challenging fitting in the engine sounds to our music and was a great way to start the relationship.” Check tour dates here: facebook.com/#!/thejapanesepopstars?sk=app_123966167614127.
