Japanese rock band tricot formed in the historical and cultural city of Kyoto on September 1, 2010. The band have developed an unusual and distinctive sound that consists of harmonic pop melodies and emotional vocals with complex rhythm. While they are sometimes referred to as a math-rock band, the members themselves are in fact not familiar with the genre; they have arrived at a unique sound of their own imagining.

tricot have toured in many countries around the world and successfully held a total of 129 shows overseas, including three tours of Asia, three tours of Europe, a supporting slot for Pixies in the UK, and further tours in the US and UK. On their tour of Europe and the UK in September 2022, tricot played 20 shows in 10 countries, including several sold-out headline shows. These dedicated musicians regularly perform sold-out concerts and have a devoted fan base throughout the world.
