L'Arc-en-Ciel fans, heads up! The legendary rock band will be bringing their music to arenas all over the world!

L�Arc-en-Ciel will return to the U.S. as part of their 2012 world tour, and they'll be performing at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City -- a first ever achievement for a Japanese artist.

The first time the band performed in the States was in 2004, where they played to a crowd of over 10,000 in Baltimore. This time, overwhelming demand from fans prompted the concert organizers to move the venue from the Madison Square Garden Theater to the Madison Square Garden arena.

L�Arc~en~Ciel will begin their �L�Arc~en~Ciel WORLD TOUR 2012� this March, visiting international cities like Hong Kong, Bangkok, Shanghai, Taipei, New York, London, and Paris, before concluding back in Japan.

Tickets will go on sale this Saturday, January 28th (visit�www.larc-en-ciel.com for details).
