coldrain Launch EU/UK Tour 2025 OPTIMIZE Vlog Series

Japanese post-hardcore powerhouse coldrain have released the first official vlog from their EU/UK Tour 2025 OPTIMIZE headline run, documenting the opening stretch of a 17-date trek across the region. The tour follows the release of their new EP Optimize, which arrived on October 24, 2025, and sees the band joined by special guests from Japan, Noisemaker—performing in the region for the first time—and Revnoir.

The vlog begins at the airport, capturing the band landing in London at 4 a.m. the day before the tour kicks off. From exhausted smiles to loading gear onto the bus, the behind-the-scenes access sets an intimate tone. In a lighthearted moment, members settle bunk selection with a game of rock-paper-scissors—the winner claiming first choice—offering fans a glimpse into the camaraderie that fuels life on the road.

Arrival in Manchester marks the official start, with footage of load-in, exploring the city, and the steady build toward showtime at Rebellion. Live clips showcase the explosive energy coldrain bring to the stage, while fans share emotional testimonials—one revealing they had waited ten years to finally see the band perform live. The next stop at Electric Ballroom in London features soundcheck snippets, fan-shot moments, and powerful concert footage, ending with the band taking time to meet supporters and pose for photos.

The episode closes as the band boards a ferry to France, continuing their journey through cities including Antwerp, Paris, Cologne, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Warsaw, Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt. With OPTIMIZE, coldrain not only celebrate a new musical chapter but also strengthen a decade-long bond with their European audience—one city, one stage, and one unforgettable night at a time.
