Bungo Stray Dogs 10th Anniversary Concert Announced With International Tickets Available

The anime Bungo Stray Dogs will celebrate its 10th anniversary in April 2026, marking ten years since the series first aired on April 7, 2016.

To commemorate the milestone, a special anniversary event titled Bungo Stray Dogs -Mayoi Inutachi No Onso- (Anime Soundtrack Concert) has been officially announced. International tickets are now available, allowing overseas fans to attend the live soundtrack performance in Japan.

The event will be held in May 2026 with performances scheduled in Osaka and Tokyo. The concert will be led by Taku Iwasaki, the composer behind the series’ soundtrack. Alongside him, a lineup of experienced musicians will perform music from the anime in a live band arrangement.

This concert is particularly notable because it will feature the first full-scale band live performance in the history of Bungo Stray Dogs. The performance will combine live music with anime visuals projected onto a large screen, creating an immersive experience for fans attending the event.

In addition to the music, newly recorded character voice announcements will be played at the beginning and end of each performance. These announcements will differ depending on the show, meaning each performance will offer a slightly different experience for attendees.

Fans who want to revisit the series’ music before the event can also listen to official playlists featuring tracks scheduled to be performed at the concert. These playlists are available on major music streaming platforms including Apple Music and Spotify.
