Glay - Glay Expo

Glay Expo

From time to time, not in a regular basis, Glay holds an exposition and a concert called "Glay Expo", which is always expensively produced and lures greater audiences than their normal stadium concerts. The first edition of the event was held on July 31, 1999. The "Glay Expo '99 - Survival" at Makuhari Messe, gathered a total audience of 200,000 people, making it the largest concert ever held by a single act in Japan, certified by the Guinness World Records.

The second edition was held in 2001. "Glay Expo 2001 - Global Communication" was divided into four performances: two in Tokyo, one in Ishikari, and an all-night long performance in Fukuoka, which featured artists; Dome from Thailand, Nicholas Tse from Hong Kong, Mayday from Taiwan, Jaurim from South Korea, and The D.e.p., a group formed by Glay's producer Masahide Sakuma, Taiwanese singer Vivian Hsu, Gota Yashiki, Masami Tsuchiya and Mick Karn. This expo accumulated a total audience of over 280,000. The concert in Ishikari had part of its fuel generated from solar and aeolic energy generating devices displayed in a booth.

"Glay Expo 2004 in Universal Studio Japan - The Frustrated" celebrated their 10th anniversary, and was held in the parking lot of Universal Studios Japan selling out the 100,000 tickets in under 15 minutes.
