The first half of the concert will feature Grammy-nominated trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, who has received acclaim at festivals around the world. This will be YOSHIKI’s first overseas performance since undergoing his third neck surgery last October. Having captivated audiences at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including New York’s Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall, YOSHIKI will achieve a new milestone on his memorable birthday. Furthermore, the venue, Hegra, is an extremely rare stage that has previously only hosted world-famous masters such as Andrea Bocelli and Ludovico Einaudi, and YOSHIKI will be the first Japanese artist to make his mark on its history. YOSHIKI said, “I am truly honored to be able to perform at this historic World Heritage Site. This performance will also mark my first full-scale concert since my third neck surgery. I owe my return to this role to the support of my fans over the years. I am truly grateful. I want to make this a historic concert.” He expressed his strong feelings about this performance, which he decided to perform at after receiving a special offer from Saudi Arabia and negotiating for over a year. In recent years, he became the first Japanese musician to be selected for the 2025 edition of the TIME 100 (The 100 Most Influential People in the World), and in 2023, he became the first Japanese person to have his handprints and footprints carved at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, making his mark in the city’s 100-year history. In addition to successfully performing classical music at global venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, Yoshiki appeared on the cover of the 200th anniversary issue of Flaunt Magazine, a globally influential American fashion magazine, last month, where he revealed in an interview that he is currently working on three albums simultaneously across three genres: classical, EDM, and rock. His multifaceted activities have also garnered attention. Last month, he collaborated with world-renowned artist Yoshitomo Nara, who was also named to the 2025 TIME 100, to release the wine “Y by YOSHIKI × Yoshitomo Nara,” which has garnered significant buzz. His high fashion brand “MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS” and his work as a philanthropist have also garnered international attention. 《Performance Overview in AlUla, Saudi Arabia》 Date: November 20, 2025 (local time) Time: Doors open at 6:30 PM, concert begins at 8 PM Venue: AlUla/Hegra, Saudi Arabia Ticket Prices: Premium 900 SAR (approx. ¥36,000) General Admission 600 SAR (approx. ¥24,000) Advance tickets are currently on sale.
