YOSHIKI, the international music icon and Japan’s biggest rock star, is set to bring YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026 IN LOS ANGELES to Walt Disney Concert Hall for two nights, on Thursday, July 16 and Friday, July 17, with globally acclaimed vocalist Josh Groban and Korn frontman Jonathan Davis announced as special guests.
The two-night engagement unites internationally celebrated artists from the worlds of classical and metal on one stage, reflecting the extraordinary genre-spanning reach of YOSHIKI, a composer, pianist, drummer, rock icon and classical artist. The appearances by Groban and Davis follow YOSHIKI’s recent headlining of the inaugural Global Citizen Live concert in Tokyo, an emotional comeback performance that saw him welcome surprise rock-star guests to the stage.
Held at one of the world’s most celebrated concert venues, renowned for its extraordinary acoustics, Frank Gehry-designed architecture and as the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the concerts will feature two distinct performances. “Scarlet Night” on July 16 and “Violet Night” on July 17 each present unique setlists inspired by YOSHIKI’s extraordinary life journey, including his triumphant return following a career-threatening third neck surgery.
The concerts mark YOSHIKI’s first full U.S. performances since his recovery, promising an emotional experience unlike any other. Best known as the leader of the legendary rock band X Japan, YOSHIKI has built a career defined by breaking musical boundaries, with influence spanning stadiums, concert halls, film, television, fashion and global culture. With more surprise guests still to be announced, the two evenings promise a rare convergence of classical elegance, cinematic emotion and the power of rock on one of the world’s greatest stages.
