Versailles announce their hiatus, release of 3rd album, and concert tour

allkpop



On July 20th, visual kei band Versailles updated their official website with two important announcements for their fans.

The first announcement is that the Versailles will be halting all their activities as a band by the end of the 2012. The message was written in both Japanese and English, with the English message reading as follows:

"An Important Announcement From Versailles:

Dear Enduring, Loyal Supporters,

We would like to announce that Versailles has decided to stop all activities by the closing of the year.

Being our 5th anniversary -- and without a clear direction heading into the future � we have decided it was in the best interest of the band and the music, our staff and supporters, in order to pursue our artistic and personal goals outside the current framework, to stop all our activities by the end of 2012.

Since the beginning the �ROSE� has played a central role, both thematically and symbolically, for Versailles. The �ROSE�, which is also the title song of their 5th anniversary single, is about birth, becoming and being � in short, their story to the world.

The band will release their farewell album September 26th and tour domestically soon afterwards. On December 20th, Versailles will have their grand finale which be performed at NHK Hall in Tokyo.

Please come and show your support to Versailles and their final journey.

July 20th, 2012

The second announcement is a happier one for fans, as the band has revealed that they will be releasing their third album "Versailles" and embarking on a final tour throughout Japan. According to the announcement, the album will be released in two versions, a limited CD+DVD edition and a regular CD-only edition, on September 26th.

Currently, there are nine performances scheduled for "Versailles TOUR 2012 'Chateau de Versailles'", which begins on November 1st in Yokohama and ends on December 20th at the NHK Hall in Tokyo.

Stay tuned to tokyohive for more on Versailles' farewell album!
