Ryosuke Kiyasu: Snare Drum Solo

The Return of a Legend: Ryosuke Kiyasu Live at The Tote (One Night Only!) Following a previous, legendary SOLD OUT show that left Melbourne’s underground community breathless, world-renowned Japanese avant-garde percussionist Ryosuke Kiyasu returns to the iconic Tote Band Room for one night only on Thursday, July 30, 2026. Equipped with just a single snare drum, Kiyasu redefines the very concept of music through raw acoustic friction and explosive physical energy. His radical style has solidified him as a towering global icon—from his viral 2018 Berlin performance with over 23 million views (featured on BBC News and VICE) to recent spotlights in Britain's i-D Magazine and collaborations with fashion label Our Legacy. Highly acclaimed even in classical percussion, he recently headlined Germany’s prestigious Überschlag Festival and inspired a dedicated fan-organized "Kiyasu Fest" in Bristol, UK. Now, as a key face for Pearl Drums’ global campaigns, Kiyasu brings his world-class, boundary-pushing performance art back to Collingwood. This exclusive Melbourne appearance features an incredible lineup of local heavyweights, featuring special guest support from SERENE AILMENT and TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS ZONE. With over 200 shows annually across the globe, this is a rare chance to witness a master at the absolute height of his powers. Tickets will sell out fast—do not miss this strictly one-night-only event.
