Latest Updates: Japan Tour and Film Scoring
As of February 2026, Alex G is currently touring Japan. The “JAPAN TOUR 2026” follows the massive success of his latest LP and marks his first major run in the region since signing with RCA Records. In addition to his live performances, industry reports from this week indicate that Giannascoli has teamed up with Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile to compose the original score for the upcoming film by director Jane Schoenbrun.
