MY HERO ACADEMIA IN CONCERT Will Come to the Palace Theatre This Fall
Composer Yuki Hayashi's score will be performed live, featuring fan-favorite themes from the anime series
CAPA will welcome My Hero Academia to the Palace Theatre Sunday, October 25, at 7 pm. The tour is part of the franchise's 10th anniversary celebration, and will feature the series' most unforgettable moments projected on a massive screen while a world-class live ensemble performs composer Yuki Hayashi's electrifying score in sync, including fan-favorite themes such as “You Say Run” and “You Can Be a Hero.”
Tickets, which start at $49.50, go on sale at 10 am Friday, May 1, and may be purchased at the CAPA Ticket Center at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.), online, and by phone at (614) 469-0939.
My Hero Academia in Concert is based on Kōhei Horikoshi's bestselling manga (which has sold more than 100 million volumes worldwide and generated more than $130 million in box office revenue, and inspired a fandom of more than 4.3 million followers across social media), and premieres May 30, 2026 at Pacifico Yokohama in Japan before heading to the United States and Europe in the fall. The music and imagery will unite to recreate the triumphs, struggles, and emotional highs that have defined My Hero Academia for a decade, helping make it one of the most watched anime series among U.S. streaming audiences.
“When this music is performed live, the story takes on an entirely new dimension that audiences will feel in a much deeper way,” says Floris Douwes, Producer and Managing Director at GEA Live. “Hayashi's compositions don't just accompany the action. They drive the emotion and intensify every moment throughout the performance. We're excited to bring this experience to the passionate fans across the United States for the first time.” Douwes says the show is a tribute to longtime fans and newcomers alike.
“The world of My Hero Academia will come to life like never before,” said a TOHO spokesperson. "This concert gives U.S. fans their first chance to experience the music, the action, and the heart of the series live on stage, creating unforgettable moments for audiences everywhere.”
Marking 10 years since the anime's April 2016 debut, the franchise enters a milestone year in 2026 with a commemorative anniversary logo, special visuals, the announcement of a brand-new extra episode, and the launch of this worldwide concert tour.
My Hero Academia is set in a world where most people possess superpowered abilities known as “Quirks.” The story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without powers who dreams of becoming a hero like his idol, All Might. His life changes when he inherits All Might's Quirk and enrolls at U.A. High School, a leading academy for aspiring heroes, where he trains alongside Class 1-A while learning the responsibility that comes with protecting others in a society shaped by both heroes and villains.
