110427 SHINee to perform at Abbey Road Studios in London to celebrate their Japanese debut

Popular South Korean group SHINee is scheduled to make their major debut in Japan in on June 22nd with their single “Replay” and what is a better way to celebrate this achievement than performing at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London?

That’s exactly what their record label and owner of the studio, EMI Music thought and thus they invited the group to perform at the studios that once inspired legends such as The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

At first it might sound awkward to perform in London to celebrate  your Japanese debut, but things become more clear once you understand  that Japanese fans actually get the chance to win a ticket for that  special performance, and SHINee already has a lot of Japanese fans. Back  in December the group held two performances in Tokyo and mobilized a  total of 24,000 fans, but more than 100,000 people actually tried to get  their hands on the tickets.

Experiencing a performance of SHINee at the Abbey Road Studios is  special because they will not only be the very first Asian artists to  perform at the studios, it is also a much more intimate atmosphere with  the biggest room only giving space to a total of 130 people.

Fans who want to be among those 130 people will have to keep an eye out for special projects on the mobile download sites Recochoku and MOBAEMI  starting on April 28th. Not much details are known at the moment and so far this seems to be the only way to get an invitation for the special  performance.

The group made a statement about the upcoming performance, “Since  it is such a famous studio, we’re really going to anticipate the  performance. I hope you will look forward to it as well, because no  matter where we are, we will always work hard in order to give back your  support through great songs and great performances in typical SHINee  fashion.”

EMI also plans to film the performance and distribute the resulting DVD in many countries, not just Japan.

Abbey Road Studios "Studio One"
This is the Studio One, when SHINee is going to perform in London to 130 lucky fans, I heard that would be on 19 June 2011. I also heard that they have webcams and they maybe could broadcast this via Internet. But its just a rumor, maybe international shawols could see this..  but we dont know yet.

Studio One is the world’s largest purpose-built recording studio.  The space can easily accommodate a 110-piece orchestra and 100-piece  choir simultaneously. Studio One’s acoustic is as famous as the  location, offering a supremely warm and clear sound, perfect for  numerous types of recording, from solo piano to large orchestras and  film scores. The live area also has two spacious isolation booths. A  Steinway D concert grand and a celeste are also available.

The size of Studio One also makes it a very attractive venue for live music events.
