Yoshiki Classical at Royal Albert Hall

Japanese rockstar and composer Yoshiki makes his Royal Albert Hall headline debut, marking his first UK appearance in over six years, as part of his latest world tour, REQUIEM.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential artists in Japanese history, Yoshiki is a classically-trained pianist, rock drummer, and leader of the rock bands X Japan and The Last Rockstars, covering a multitude of genres from classical to heavy metal, and selling over 30 million albums.

Accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and special guests, this concert will celebrate the 10th anniversary of his Yoshiki Classical album (co-produced and arranged by acclaimed Beatles producer George Martin), which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Classical Music chart in ten countries. REQUIEM will showcase Yoshiki’s original compositions, new arrangements of pieces by classical composers, and orchestral performances of his chart-topping rock songs.
