The perfect festival lineup? – JROCK ONSEN Ep. 37

Back in the bath in the new year! Kind of. We recorded this at the tail end of 2025 in anticipation for an early 2026 debut. March is still early, right?

Anyway, B7KLAN has announced an insane lineup for a european event. Some might even say the lineup is dream like, almost too good to be true?

Here’s to the new year! Let’s hope for shows a plenty and maybe a few more podcasts.
