Yes, you read it correctly, it is finally coming true, a North America Tour in USA and Mexico! LiSA will be having her first solo concert (not tied to any festivals or conventions) in USA. In addition, her last time in Mexico was during Bright Flight period in 2016 and the fans welcomed her fondly. The most recent time she performed in USA was during the 2024 San Diego Comic Con but that was a last minute announcement and many fans probably missed out despite the full crowd in attendance. Those who attended would probably know how much of a blast it was, as can seen from the short clips she posted.
Venues / Dates
Based on the currently released information the venues and dates are as follows:
- June 18: Terminal 5, New York (Capacity:3000)
- June 24: YouTube Theater, Los Angeles (Capacity:6000)
- June 28: Pepsi Center, Mexico City (Capacity: 6000~8000)
With June 24th being her actual birthday, die hard fans should definitely look to go there to wish her Happy Birthday! No matter how much the tickets cost, it is way cheaper than flying to Japan, so don’t miss out. However, do note that the venue capacities are relatively small, so it is important to set your alarms/reminders to quickly buy the tickets before scalpers get their hands on it.

For those who are less familiar with her recent works, this past year LiSA has been very active with a performance in the Nippon Budoukan for iScream in April and a nationwide arena tour in late 2024 for her COCKTAiL PARTY tour. I was very fortunate to have been able to attend both and shared some photos in my posts on LiSA – Fukui Concert and another one about Japan Concert Etiquette too.
In addition, she had 3 anime tie ups in 2024 including “The Irregular at Magic High School”, “NieR Automata” and “Shangri-la Frontier” which all three songs were a treat for the ears. “Shouted Serenade” is a quick tempo continuation from her famous legendary “Rising Hope” song 10 years prior. “Black Box” is a soulful ballad with lyrics that match perfectly with the sorrow and hopelessness of the characters in NieR Automata. The song “Queen” will have you swaying to the rhythm while singing along too.
So far, her song for QUEEN does not have a physical release yet but you can easily listen to it on spotify or Amazon Music (#Ad)
In addition, her latest hit song “ReawakeR” is a tie in with “Solo Leveling” and a collaboration with Stray Kids member Felix. I wrote about it here.
Although most of the singles being released are anime tie in, if you are not already a LiSA fan, you might be surprised to know that she has many excellent non-anime songs too. For example one of the concert staples is “Rock-Mode” which surely will have you shouting along!
If you are interested to refresh on what are her most popular songs, you can head over to my page that many fans already voted for their top 10 LiSA song and see the resulting ranking list for yourself. (Or you might want to vote as well)
In summary, all this is great news for fans in North America and if it sells out, hopefully she will start scheduling more events outside of Japan and Asia too.
