Hatsune Miku Expo 2026 North America Tour Draws 100,000 Fans

The HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2026 North America tour concluded after a two-month run across 15 cities. The tour featured the virtual singers Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO, performing 19 shows for approximately 100,000 attendees.

This was the first North American tour for the series in two years. The tour began in Chicago on April 12 and spanned 40 days. A live band, including four local musicians, backed the virtual performers.

DJ events titled "Digital Stars @ MIKU EXPO 2026 North America" were held as sub-events in Chicago, New York, and Toronto. These featured creators like the American music circle FLAVOR FOLEY, who produced the tour's theme song, and Japanese creator Yonosuke.

The tour operated under a "Candy Shop" theme, with visuals by illustrator 4. The setlist reflected this theme and included many songs with Japanese lyrics. Fans were observed singing along in Japanese and creating their own chants during the shows.

The final song before the encore at every venue was the theme song "CONNECT:COMMUNE." Hatsune Miku appeared in the same outfit from the song's music video.
