URBANGARDE will release their first live album Urbangarde 2016 Xmas Special Hall Live Tenshi De Akuma ("Angel and Devil") on April 12, 2017. The regular CD version will contain the complete concert audio and a live performance DVD, while a limited-press lower-price version will showcase selected concert tracks.

URBANGARDE's one-man holiday concert, recorded at Shibuya Ward Culture Center on December 17, 2016, was divided into "devil" and "angel" segments, culminating in an audience vote to see which side won the night. When the devils were announced as victorious, the hall was bathed in red lights for the final songs. Their single "Akumade Akuma" ("Devils Forever"), the band's first non-album music release in over four years, was released the following month in January 2017. 

Both editions of Urbangarde 2016 Xmas Special Hall Live Tenshi De Akuma feature the band's trademark polka-dot symbols, connecting to their upcoming 10th Anniversary celebration coming up this May. 

URBANGARDE leader, songwriter, and frontman Temma Matsunaga also recently announced his first solo live concert titled "Blood, Semen, and Death" scheduled for June 18 at Shinjuku JAM.
