The band will play on a special stage set up on the upper level of the “home” side of the stadium (I’m guessing front stand).  I’ve so far failed to find any photos of the ’03 or ’04 performances but if I can find them, they’ll be posted (not likely because usually Japanese organizations have strict no-photo policies, but we’ll see!)  The band will be selling limited-edition tee-shirts to commemorate the event beginning next week.

And I totally want to make a giant “You’ll Never Ska Alone” banner now.  Who’s with me?
