This September, visual kei icons Mana (Malice Mizer, Moi Dix Mois), Kaya (Schwarz Stein, Femme Fatale, solo), and Közi (Malice Mizer, Eve of Destiny, ZIZ) will headline special events in Santiago, Chile, and Mexico City, Mexico. The events will feature an “unplugged” Közi concert and a special tea party with Mana. Kaya will be a special guest at both events.

VIP upgrades are already sold out for both locations, but general tickets are still available for Mana Tea Party II and Közi’s unplugged concert with Kaya in Chile. However, all tickets for the event in Mexico City have sold out. Read on for more information.

Santiago, Chile

The trio will first head to Santiago, Chile, for events on September 7-8, 2024. The weekend begins on September 7 with two special tea parties featuring Mana and special guest Kaya at Círculo Español, a beautiful historic venue that was once a palace.

The first seating, from 11:00–14:00 CST, is completely sold out. Due to popular demand, a second seating was added from 16:00–19:00 CST, with tickets available now.

The following day, Közi performs an unplugged concert with Kaya at Blondie Discoteque in Sanitago, Chile. General tickets are still available for purchase. In music, the term “unplugged” usually refers to an acoustic performance, hinting at the repertoire for the night. This concert marks Kozi’s first solo performance in Chile.

About the artists

Mana and Közi, both former guitarists of the iconic visual kei band Malice Mizer, have continued to leave their mark on the scene. Mana now produces his own gothic lolita fashion line, Moi-même-Moitié, while leading his current musical project, Moi Dix Mois. Közi remains a key figure in the industry, performing with various groups like ZIZ, DALLE, and VAMQUET.

Kaya is an influential singer-songwriter known for his diverse artistic range. His solo career spans romantic gothic ballads to French chanson covers, while his work with the electronic duo Schwarz Stein explores a darker, electro sound. He previously performed in Chile as part of Schwarz Stein in 2019.

Together, these three artists bring a perfect blend of musical styles and visual aesthetics. Don’t miss the opportunity to see them together for the first time in these countries!

Update 2024-08-14: Our original article mentioned only one seating for “Tea Party Mana” in Santiago, Chile, because the ticket page for the morning session was removed when tickets sold out. We have since confirmed that there are two sessions for the event, with general tickets still available for the second session.

Initially, we reported the event as sold out based on information from Dharma Tickets. However, ticket sales have moved to Passline, where tickets for the second seating are still available. The article has been updated accordingly.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
