Prepare those glowsticks, everyone’s favorite virtual diva Hatsune Miku is returning to North America for MIKU EXPO 2026! With a tour across Asia scheduled for this November, Miku and her fellow Vocaloids are making waves all across the globe. Presales are already up and running for specific shows, with general tickets opening up on October 31.

As of October 28, three more shows have been added to the original line-up, bringing the tour’s total to eighteen shows. Chicago, San Jose, and Baltimore will each have two back-to-back nights of concerts.

Excitingly, VIP packages are available for the Vocaloids biggest fans. In addition to a top price general admission ticket, these packages include early venue entry, a collectable pass, and merchandise created exclusively for VIP ticket holders. Notably, glowsticks are not part of the package, instead, official glowsticks will be available for presale at a later date, with limited quantities available at each show.

MIKU EXPO 2026 North America’s main visual is a bubbly and bright rendition of Miku by artist yon. Previously, yon has created a wide array of colorful character art for the Piapro characters for “Project Sekai: Colorful Stage!“. Various candies adorn both MIKU EXPO’s website as well as her sparkling dress, hinting at a sure-fire sweet concert series.

This tour announcement comes off the heels of the MIKU EXPO 2026 Song Contest’s deadline. The grand prize winner of the contest will have their original song featured on the setlist of a MIKU EXPO 2026 tour. Although MIKU EXPO has hosted original song contests in the past, 2026’s contest is the first to allow entries utilizing Piapro characters other than Hatsune Miku. Additionally, the grand prize winner is awarded with two MIKU EXPO tickets, a voucher for music production products, and character goods.
