YOSHIKI has announced that Jonathan Davis, frontman of nu-metal icons KORN and a two-time Grammy Award winner, will be the first special guest for "YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026" to be held at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on July 16 and 17. Davis is scheduled to perform at both "Scarlet Night" on July 16 and "Violet Night" on July 17, showcasing a special collaboration with YOSHIKI.

This special and rare collaboration will feature two artists who transcend genres: YOSHIKI, who has fused the grandeur of classical music with the power of rock, and Davis, who possesses one of the most iconic voices in metal. This unexpected pairing is only possible because of YOSHIKI's unique career path.

The two-night event will once again allow attendees to experience YOSHIKI's signature innovative fusion of classical and rock. Each performance will feature a distinct and special setlist, promising both "Scarlet Night" and "Violet Night" to be unforgettable experiences.

These performances mark YOSHIKI's long-awaited return to the US stage following his third cervical spine surgery at the end of 2024. Held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, an iconic Los Angeles landmark renowned for its superior acoustics, the concerts will showcase YOSHIKI's cinematic musical world and are drawing attention as a new stage in his creative rebirth. Further announcements of additional special guests are highly anticipated.
