Festival Wire Update:
Kero Kero Bonito’s dedicated fans on r/coachella are voicing strong hopes for the band’s return from hiatus, especially a US tour. Revered for their genre-melding live shows, they remain a cult favorite in festival circuits.
Their 2019 Coachella Sonora Stage sets are fondly remembered for playful energy and unique props, but some fan accounts of a heavy, metal-esque "Trampoline" segment and a Death Grips cover do not align with documented reports.
The band members are British — Sarah Midori Perry (also Japanese-British), Gus Lobban, and Jamie Bulled — with no official ties to Canadian or American citizenship as suggested in forum imaginings.
Sarah’s solo project Cryalot released new music in 2022, though no current DJ work has been publicly confirmed.
Festivalgoers continue to clamor for more J-pop and rock-infused acts, signaling a fertile ground for Kero Kero Bonito’s hopeful comeback and fresh material.
Stay tuned for updates on any official announcements regarding their return.
