Persona Announces Biggest Ever Live Concert to Close Out 30th Anniversary Celebrations
Atlus is preparing the biggest live music event in Persona history, with the upcoming Persona 4 Revival taking center stage as the RPG series brings its 30th anniversary celebrations to a close.
The newly announced “PERSONA SUPER LIVE 2027” will bring together singers, musicians and dancers from across the franchise for four performances over three days, celebrating 30 years of Persona music at the Yokohama BUNTAI arena in Japan.
Music has always been a big part of Persona, from the atmospheric tracks of the original PlayStation games to the jazz, hip-hop and rock-influenced songs heard in Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5.
The series first launched in September 1996 with Megami Ibunroku Persona, later released internationally as Revelations: Persona, before expanding into one of Atlus’ most successful RPG franchises.

The remake will be represented at a Persona Super Live concert for the first time, with the performances also drawing from earlier games to celebrate the franchise’s musical history.
Rather than presenting the same concert across all three days, the organizers have divided the event into separate programs, with the first two days dedicated to retrospective performances and the final day celebrating the entire series.
The announced schedule includes:
- Day 1 – March 19, 2027: Memorial Performance [Act 1]
A retrospective featuring music from across the series, including the original Megami Ibunroku Persona, with singers Shiori Sasaki, Lyn, Azumi Takahashi, Lotus Juice, Mayumi Fujita and Shuhei Kita.
- Day 2 – March 20, 2027: Memorial Performance [Act 2]
A second retrospective celebrating the franchise’s history, including Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, with performances from Shiori Sasaki, Lyn, Lotus Juice and Yumi Kawamura.
- Day 3 – March 21, 2027: Special Anniversary Performance [Grand Finale]
Two performances celebrating all 30 years of Persona, bringing together Shiori Sasaki, Lyn, Azumi Takahashi and Lotus Juice, alongside special guest singer hitomi.
All four performances will feature live music from a full band, with Atlus promising the largest group of Persona Dancers ever assembled for one of its concerts.
The event will also welcome several important figures from the franchise’s musical history, including Atlus Sound Team member Toshiki Konishi, who is scheduled to appear across all three days.
Longtime Persona composer Shoji Meguro will make guest appearances on the second and third days, joining the celebrations surrounding a series whose music he helped shape for more than two decades.
The concerts follow another major musical announcement for the anniversary, with Atlus and iam8bit previously revealing a huge Persona CD and cassette soundtrack collection covering the first five mainline games.

The concerts will take place at Yokohama BUNTAI in Yokohama, Japan, from March 19 to March 21, 2027, with the final day featuring an afternoon performance and a separate evening show.
Tickets are available in two categories, with S Zone seats priced at ¥18,000 (approximately $114 / £85) and A Zone seats priced at ¥12,000 (approximately $76 / £57).
The premium S Zone includes seating in the central area, including arena seats, alongside an exclusive commemorative gift featuring a different design for each of the four performances.
The first ticket lottery opened through Ticket Pia on November 6, 2026, and will accept applications until November 15 at 11:59 PM JST, with a second advance lottery scheduled from November 19 through December 3.
Further details about the concert programs, performers, and ticket arrangements are available through the official PERSONA SUPER LIVE 2027 website.
