The electrifying energy of ONE OK ROCK's DETOX Tour at MGM Fenway left us breathless, sore, and completely fulfilled—exactly what a transformative rock concert should do. The Japanese rock powerhouse has steadily conquered American venues, advancing from intimate clubs to increasingly larger theaters with each tour, testament to their growing US fanbase.
What sets One OK Rock apart from other international acts is their commitment to reaching fans everywhere. Rather than limiting themselves to predictable coastal city stops, they consistently venture throughout the American heartland, connecting with audiences that many overseas bands overlook. This dedication has built them a devoted following that packed MGM Fenway with passionate fans.
The production was nothing short of spectacular. Geometric laser patterns above the general admission floor, offering completely different visual experiences depending on your vantage point. Massive video screens captured every emotional nuance as vocalist Taka poured his heart into each song, bassist Ryota kept the rhythm with drummer Tomo, who entered his characteristic trance-like state (complete with infectious smiles throughout), and guitarist Toru delivered '80s-worthy shredding solos.
Beyond the technical brilliance was a powerful message. Having lived in America for ten years, Taka spoke movingly about how music transcends cultural and language barriers, bringing people together during difficult times. He connected struggles faced in both America and Japan, reminding us that shared challenges can unite rather than divide us. This sentiment perfectly encapsulated why ONE OK ROCK resonates so deeply—they create music that communicates universal emotions regardless of the listener's native tongue.
The setlist masterfully balanced tracks from their 11th album DETOX with fan favorites, creating an emotional journey. Australian opener Stand Atlantic perfectly complemented the headliners with their own high-energy performance, having previously toured with OONE OK ROCK.
Whether you're a longtime follower or discovering them for the first time, ONE OK ROCK delivers a concert experience that demands your complete physical and emotional investment but returns it tenfold through connection, catharsis, and community.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
