HEADLINES PRESTIGIOUS TWO-NIGHT ENGAGEMENT JULY 16-17
FOLLOWING TRIUMPHANT POST-SURGERY WORLD TOUR KICKOFF
TICKETS FOR BOTH SHOWS GO ON SALE APRIL 10
SPECIAL PRE-SALE BEGINS MARCH 26
Following a series of sold-out performances in Tokyo and a historic appearance at the
UNESCO World Heritage site of Hegra, global icon YOSHIKI–composer, classically
trained pianist, and Japan's biggest rock star–returns to North America for two exclusive
nights at The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall on July 16 and 17, 2026.
Titled "Scarlet Night" and "Violet Night", these performances mark YOSHIKI's highly
anticipated U.S. return following his third cervical spine surgery in late 2024. YOSHIKI
will change the set list for each performance, making this an unforgettable experience
for fans. The concert series represents a "rebirth" for the artist, blending his signature
cinematic compositions with the unmatched acoustics of Los Angeles' most iconic
architectural landmark.
"To perform at (The Music Center's) Walt Disney Concert Hall is an honor, and in this
moment it's personal," says YOSHIKI. "After my surgery, I wasn't sure when I would
return to the stage. These two nights are a celebration of resilience and the bond I
share with my fans. Of course there will be classical piano, but I also want to push
beyond the traditional format. I'm experimenting with new sounds and new ideas:
something emotional, powerful, and explosive."
The "CLASSICAL 2026" series arrives on the heels of several landmark moments:
* Hegra Candlelit Classics: YOSHIKI recently became the first Japanese artist in
history to perform at the ancient Nabataean tombs in AlUla, Saudi Arabia,
performing an emotional set by the light of thousands of candles.
* In early 2026, YOSHIKI captivated audiences alongside Josh Groban in Japan
and stunned a capacity crowd of 18,000 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center during a
surprise appearance with the Jonas Brothers.
* Sold-Out Tokyo Residency: His three-night stint at the Tokyo Garden Theater this
April sold out instantly, signaling a massive global demand for his return.
