X JAPAN bandleader and noteworthy composer Yoshiki will return to North America for two nights at The Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall later this summer, following a series of sold-out performances in Tokyo and a historic appearance at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hegra.
Going down July 16 and 17, the dual performances — titled “Scarlet Night” and “Violet Night” — mark Yoshiki’s first U.S. shows since his third cervical spine surgery in late 2024. Each night will feature different setlists, where the top-tier acoustics of the legendary Los Angeles venue will support Yoshiki’s evocative compositions.

“To perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall is an honor, and in this moment it’s personal,” Yoshiki says. “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.”
General on-sale begins April 10 at 10 a.m. PT. For more information and tickets, head to his website.
