Uma Musume: Pretty Derby World Tour Concert in Los Angeles: 17 Voice Actors to Take the Stage
The first stop of the highly anticipated world tour concert for the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby series has been announced. Organizers have revealed the lineup for the event, which will take place in Los Angeles on October 22-23, 2026. A total of 17 voice actors will perform at the concert titled ‘Uma Musume: Pretty Derby – 7th Event World Tour: The Stage’. This marks the first time in the series' seven-year history that a concert event is being held outside of Japan.
The concert is the latest live performance of the horse racing-themed media franchise launched by Cygames in 2018, which quickly turned into a global phenomenon. The series is known for its ‘Uma Musume’ characters, who personify real racehorses, and has reached a vast fan base through its mobile game, anime series, music albums, and stage shows. While previous ‘Event’ concerts were held only in Japan, the selection of Los Angeles for this year's world tour is a clear indicator of the series' growing popularity in the Western market.
The full list of characters and voice actors appearing at the Los Angeles concert has not yet been released, but it is expected that the lineup of 17 names will include the voice actors behind the series' most beloved horses, such as Special Week, Silence Suzuka, and Tokai Teio. Concert tickets are scheduled to go on sale in the coming weeks. Additionally, it is possible that new songs and surprise announcements will be made during the event.
This development proves once again that the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby series is not just a game, but also possesses a strong live performance culture. The ‘6th Event’ concerts held in Japan in recent years attracted tens of thousands of viewers and received millions of views on digital platforms. The Los Angeles event will offer fans in the U.S. the opportunity to experience this live for the first time. If this concert is successful, it is expected that the series may visit other major cities in Europe and Asia in the coming years.
