So, for a while the members of Ave Mujica have had tags for their specific stage outfits (which they use both in-universe and IRL), and these tags work really well. A while back a slight variation was released (second image below), but these still follow most of the same designs, so using the tags for these is probably fine.... (I think, I hope)
But now we've gotten new outfits in a grey theme:
It doesn't seem like they will permanently change to these outfits on-stage, since their upcoming tour uses the original outfits in the announcement Tweet:
... but it seems likely that they will use them for at least 3 performances, as they are also shown wearing them in coordination with MyGO!!!!! for this key visual:
Now, the problem is with tagging. The original tags (Doloris, Oblivionis, Timoris, Amoris, Mortis) are used as stage outfits (which they treat as if they are alternate personas), and they work well for this. They are also valuable for getting a "vibe" across, since the band also uses them as stage names. For example, even a change in Togawa Sakiko's hair ribbon color from green (matching Haneoka school uniform) to black (matching Oblivionis) is a conscious decision by the artist, and the Oblivionis tag captures this.
These new outfits break this concept since they are definitely too far removed from the actual costumes for those tags to still apply, but the aforementioned stage name stuff is still present. I think in a normal case, a gentag for the event (named Ulterius Procedere) would suffice, as was done with MyGO!!!!! (bang dream!) for Mitsuketa keshiki tazusaete, but I think the whole context surrounding this band warrants some more discussion.
As for my opinion, I am not really interested in making the character tagging any more complex than the absolute bare minimum, but it feels conceptually wrong to not tag stage outfits with Doloris etc.. Maybe a gentag for the event would be sufficient to distinguish between the two, giving us doloris_(bang_dream!) -ulterius_procedere for the original outfits and doloris_(bang_dream!) ulterius_procedere (provisional) for these new ones?
