My Hero Academia Music Festival Announced for Anime’s 10th Anniversary
A massive live music festival has been officially announced to celebrate the monumental 10th anniversary of the popular anime franchise My Hero Academia.
The upcoming event, officially titled “ANI-ROCK FES. 2026 My Hero Academia PLUS ULTRA LIVE”, will bring together a diverse lineup of musical artists to deliver an unforgettable performance.
My Hero Academia has built a massive following across the United States and worldwide through its compelling story of young students learning to master their superpowers.
The anime adaptation recently concluded its highly successful eight-season run this past December.
The “ANI-ROCK FES” brand is an established live concert series that gathers musicians who have provided theme songs for specific anime properties.
Previous iterations of the festival included dedicated days for hit shows such as Naruto and Gintama in 2016, followed by Haikyuu in 2018.
The festival previously hosted a dedicated My Hero Academia event in 2024, which recorded the highest attendance numbers in the history of the brand.
Now, the festival returns for a special anniversary celebration featuring artists who have colored the superhero series with their music over the past decade.
This comprehensive musical event allows attendees to fully experience both the world of the anime and the unique style of the performers.
The concert will feature a setlist of those recognizable anime theme songs alongside original tracks from the performing artists.
Anticipation is already building online as fans eagerly wait for the official reveal regarding exactly which bands and singers will take the stage.
It seems likely that prominent band Porno Graffitti are likely to be performing, having contributed both the Season 1 and Final Season opening songs.
Other contributors could range from UVERworld, who performed the Season 3 opening “ODD FUTURE” or popular artist Kenshi Yonezu, who sang the Season 2 intro “Peace Sign”.
Alongside the concert news, the 10th-anniversary project will also include a brand-new anime episode.
The special episode, titled “More,” will adapt the additional epilogue story drawn by series creator Kohei Horikoshi for the 42nd and final volume of the original manga.
This animation will explore the lives of the main characters following the dramatic conclusion of the primary storyline.
Viewers can catch this broadcast on Japanese television networks starting on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
The performing artist lineup and initial ticket applications will officially open on Friday, May 1, 2026.
The two-day music event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 22, and Monday, November 23, 2026.
Live performances will be held at the Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium located in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
