Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure Concert Pushed Back To 2023

By Evan Valentine

Later this month, Dragon Ball was set to recreate some of its wildest tunes from the long run of its three anime series in Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super via the Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure. Unfortunately, it seems that fans will have to wait until next year to see this concert take place as Toei Animation has announced new dates for Los Angeles performances, as well as outright cancellations for performances that were originally set to take place later this month in San Jose.         

For those who aren't familiar with this unique concert that was originally scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles and San Jose later this month, the official description of Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure reads as such:

"Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure is a full-immersive concert with the music from DRAGON BALL and DRAGON BALL Z series for the first time in the history of Japanese animation, all completely synchronized to cutting edge video screen, lighting and special sound effects from the series. An original production created and produced by Overlook Events, under its unprecedented concept Narrative Symphonic Experience."

Toei Animation shared the unfortunate news that the performances set for Los Angeles will be delayed until January 2023, with the San Jose performances being canceled entirely due to "unexpected scheduling issues", with Toei promising to refund tickets to fans that purchased them:

The Dragon Ball series has given fans some wild tunes to rock out to over the decades since the anime first premiered with the original Dragon Ball in 1986. With the upcoming movie dropping this summer, we're sure to get plenty of new tracks within the story that is bringing back the Red Ribbon Army, as composer Naoki Sato is slated to score this new film. Sato has past experience working on anime franchises including the likes of Assassination Classroom, Stand By Me Doraemon, Blood-C, and Eureka Seven to name a few. On top of these, Naoki also recently created the scores for the two final films of the live-action Rurouni Kenshin series, showing that the composer has definitely been staying busy.
