YOSHIKI Announces Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction as Special Guest for 'YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026' Los Angeles Concerts

YOSHIKI has announced that Perry Farrell, frontman of Jane's Addiction and renowned as the founder of the global music festival 'Lollapalooza,' will join as a new special guest for 'YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026 IN LOS ANGELES,' set to take place on July 16 and 17 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Following the recent announcements of Jonathan Davis and Josh Groban, Perry Farrell will appear on the 'Scarlet Night' concert on July 16.

Perry Farrell has led the alternative rock scene as the frontman of Jane's Addiction, consistently pushing the boundaries between music, art, and performance. He has also made significant contributions to the development of modern music festival culture through the creation of Lollapalooza.

Previously announced guests include Jonathan Davis of KORN, who will perform on both July 16 and 17, and world-renowned vocalist Josh Groban, who will appear on the 'Violet Night' concert on July 17. With the addition of Perry Farrell, three iconic figures from the music world will now unite under YOSHIKI's artistic direction.

Perry Farrell, a pioneer of alternative rock; Jonathan Davis, who defined an era as KORN's frontman; and Josh Groban, acclaimed globally as a vocal powerhouse—each brings a powerful individuality. The collaboration between these three artists and YOSHIKI is highly anticipated.

In April 2026, YOSHIKI sold out all performances of 'YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026' over three consecutive days at Tokyo Garden Theatre. In June, he headlined 'Global Citizen Live: Tokyo,' the first-ever Japan edition of the global event. On July 10, he appeared as a special guest at the 25th-anniversary stage of 'Japan Expo Paris 2026,' Europe's largest Japanese cultural event, filling the venue's largest stage, 'Ichigo Stage,' to capacity with an audience of approximately 10,000. Now, YOSHIKI brings his dynamic presence to Los Angeles as his next international stage.

The Walt Disney Concert Hall, known for its world-class acoustics and iconic architecture by Frank Gehry, is one of the most prestigious concert venues globally. For YOSHIKI, this marks his first major U.S. concert following his recovery from a third cervical spine surgery.

'YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026 IN LOS ANGELES' will span two nights: 'Scarlet Night' on July 16 and 'Violet Night' on July 17, each featuring unique setlists and guest collaborations. With the gathering of global artists like Perry Farrell, Jonathan Davis, and Josh Groban, this concert promises an unprecedented genre-defying performance in the history of the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
