On Tuesday, May 21, 2024, Aniplex of America, GEA Live, RoadCo Entertainment, and Crunchyroll revealed plans for a live Demon Slayer anime concert. Currently, only two dates have been announced: one at the Kings Theater in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, September 21, and another at the Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco, California on Saturday, September 28.
The upcoming concert, officially named Demon slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba in concert, will have tickets available for purchase on the event’s official website beginning this Friday, May 24 at 1PM EDT. The website is currently showcasing a trailer for the event, featuring a blend of footage from the anime series and past concerts held by the anime.
The concert will showcase a live band of 18 members and a screen showcasing scenes from the Unwavering Resolve arc of the anime, which is from the first season. The duration of the concert will be 2 hours and 30 minutes, with a 20-minute intermission. It is currently uncertain if there will be any additional dates added for the event in the United States at the time of writing this article.
Upcoming Demon Slayer Concert in America Limited to Two Dates
Regrettably, it is probable that these will be the sole two dates for the Demon Slayer concert, as they are being announced well in advance. Additionally, it is probable that this will be the only opportunity for the concert to take place in the United States, as events like this do not often make the trip overseas. Furthermore, considering that the anime is nearing its conclusion, the demand for a repeat performance may not be present after this upcoming tour.
However, it is worth noting that the television anime adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge’s original manga series remains extremely popular. Given this series’ enduring appeal, it is no surprise that it has warranted a return even after the conclusion of the anime.
The manga series initially debuted in February 2016 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump manga magazine. It continued to run in the magazine until its conclusion in May 2020, spanning over four years. The series consisted of 205 chapters, which were later collected into 23 compilation volumes. These volumes are currently accessible in both Japanese and English at the time of writing this article.
The anime originally debuted in 2019 with a 26-episode season, which was later followed by the release of the Mugen Train film, which covers the same arc. This film was also edited and incorporated into the first half of the second season, with the second half adapting the Entertainment District arc in late 2021. The third season, which aired in Spring 2023, covered the Swordsmith Village arc, and is currently in the process of adapting the Hashira Training arc.
