YOSHIKI to Perform at London’s Royal Albert Hall; 2019 Dinner Shows Sell Out with Record High Demand

Sarah Brightman has invited internationally acclaimed composer YOSHIKI to perform on the stage of London’s famed Royal Albert Hall on November 11th this year for the final concert of her HYMN world tour. This performance will mark YOSHIKI's return to the UK for the first time since his band X JAPAN headlined Wembley Arena in 2017.

YOSHIKI accompanied the world famous soprano in guest appearances at Radio City Music Hall (New York), The Masonic (San Francisco), Dolby Theatre (Los Angeles), and Yokohama Arena (Japan).

Miracle (Sarah’s Version) – composed by YOSHIKI and performed by Brightman with YOSHIKI on piano – reached the Top 10 on iTunes Classical Charts in 15 countries. Brightman has called the song “the number 1 masterpiece on the album”.



In addition, YOSHIKI’s sixth anniversary Premium Dinner Shows have sold out, with ticket applications soaring to as high as 260 times the number of available seats.

A record 12 shows in seven days were scheduled this summer in an effort to meet the intense demand for one of Japan’s most prestigious concert events, which have increased in number and scale every year since they began six years ago.

YOSHIKI’s schedule created a possible obstacle this year due to his ever-increasing number of media projects, including composing the theme song and film score for the upcoming film "xXx 4", starring Vin Diesel.

“I usually don’t like summer because I’m a nocturnal creature who dislikes the sun and heat,” said YOSHIKI. “But ever since I started this show several years ago, I started to look forward to this season. I’m truly grateful to all my fans who support me. I wish I could have adjusted my schedule to make room for more than 12 shows, but this is the best I can do at this time. I’m looking forward to seeing you all.”
