The Slovenian punk rock band SMACKED is preparing for their first international tour outside Europe, set to take place in Japan in September 2026. The band, which released their third studio album 'Rise and Grind' earlier this year, will perform five concerts in Tokyo and surrounding areas. This marks a significant milestone for the group, as they have previously performed domestically and in other European countries. The tour is organized by Japanese agency RNR TOURS, which collaborates with bands such as Comeback Kid and Belvedere. In addition to the Japan tour, SMACKED will also perform at various festivals across Austria, Germany, and Slovenia throughout the summer.
