YOSHIKI announces “CLASSICAL 2026” concert series in L.A.

Following a series of sold-out performances in Tokyo and a historic appearance at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hegra, X JAPAN bandleader and global icon YOSHIKI is headed back to North America for two exclusive nights at The Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall on July 16th and 17th.

Titled “Scarlet Night” and “Violet Night,” the performances mark YOSHIKI’s highly anticipated U.S. return following his third cervical spine surgery in late 2024. Each show will feature a unique set list and find YOSHIKI playing his signature cinematic compositions with the unmatched acoustics of the iconic L.A. architectural landmark.

“To perform at (The Music Center’s) Walt Disney Concert Hall is an honor, and in this moment it’s personal,” YOSHIKI commented. “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.”

A fan club exclusive pre-sale begins March 26 at 11 a.m. PST, while the general on-sale launches April 10th at 10 a.m. PST. For more info and tickets, click here.
