Following its world premiere on May 30 at Pacifico Yokohama in Japan, TOHO Co., Ltd., GEA Live, and RoadCo Entertainment today shared a first look at My Hero Academia in Concert, the new live music experience based on the global anime phenomenon, which comes to the Mount Baker Theatre in Bellingham on September 20 for one show only at 3:00 p.m. Photos and video from the sold-out premiere performance showcase the scale of the production ahead of its 10-city European debut this fall and upcoming U.S. tour launching in September. The tour is part of the anime's 10th anniversary celebration and will also offer fans access to exclusive concert merchandise available only at tour venues.
My Hero Academia in Concert brings the power, emotion, and iconic score of the beloved superhero anime phenomenon to the stage. Audiences will experience the series' most unforgettable moments projected on a massive screen while a world-class live ensemble performs composer Yuki Hayashi's electrifying score in sync, including fan-favorite themes such as "You Say Run" and "You Can Be a Hero."
The music and imagery unite to recreate the triumphs, struggles, and emotional highs that have defined My Hero Academia for a decade. The live concert experience gives audiences a new way to experience the story's most memorable battles, friendships, and heroic moments, with Hayashi's music performed live alongside cinematic visuals from across the series.
Based on Kōhei Horikoshi's bestselling manga, which has sold more than 100 million volumes worldwide, My Hero Academia has grown into one of the world's most successful anime series that now includes eight seasons, 170+1 episodes, and four films. Marking 10 years since the anime's April 2016 debut, the franchise continues its milestone anniversary celebration in 2026 with special events, new content, and this worldwide concert tour.
