On Sunday August 20, Japanese metalcore upstarts Hanabie made their UK debut at a sold-out Underworld in Camden, London. An iconic dive venue that's hosted everyone from Foo Fighters to Bring Me The Horizon over the years, last weekend it played host to the self-described LOUD ROCK troupe and hundreds of fans who've been waiting to see their neon-soaked brand of metalcore up close.

If you didn't make it – or even if you did – have a swipe through the photos below for a peek into Hanabie's first-ever UK gig.
