tricot is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in Kyoto in 2010, known for their thrilling compositions that blend delicate vocals with complex, unpredictable rhythms. Outside Japan, their music is often categorized as Math Rock, though the members themselves are unfamiliar with the genre. Their live performances quickly earned them a place at major festivals across Japan and extensive tours throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. In 2014, Rolling Stone selected them as one of the "10 New Artists You Need to Know," and they performed as the opening act for Pixies at a 6,000-capacity venue in the UK. In 2021, they performed on the White Stage at Fuji Rock Festival. In 2025, celebrating their 15th anniversary, they held three headline shows in Tokyo. In February 2026, they performed at Billboard Live for the first time.
