Video game publisher and developer Cygames, Inc. (HQ:  Shibuya, Tokyo; President: Koichi Watanabe, hereinafter referred to as “Cygames”) will hold  Umamusume: Pretty Derby – 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR: THE STAGE in LONDON from 19–20 January 2027 in London at Hammersmith’s renowned Eventim Apollo for its multimedia franchise Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

For two nights in London, Europe embraces Japan’s anime and music from the award-winning  Umamusume: Pretty Derby multimedia franchise in a full ensemble concert in which voice actors  perform songs from the much-adored Japanese cultural hit live as their characters on stage. Fans  anticipating further details of the world tour’s next stop in London are now treated to an information  reveal with the key art, performance details including the cast list, and ticket information for sales  starting 17 November 2026.

The Umamusume: Pretty Derby – 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR: THE STAGE live concert is touring  the globe. Umamusume‘s first world tour kicked off in Tokyo, Japan back in June 2026, and now the  tour heads to London—the first and only part of the tour taking place in Europe. Seoul, South Korea  and Yokohama, Japan will close off the concert’s global tour.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is an award-winning game and part of a multimedia franchise that tells stories of characters inspired by real-life racehorses. It was released in Japan in 2021 and quickly  gained a large following, reaching 10 million downloads in just seven months. In June 2025, the  English version was released on Steam and mobile platforms (App Store and Google Play),  reaching number one on the Steam sales chart in over ten countries, including the United States,  Italy, France, Canada, Singapore, and Thailand. Following that, it won Best Mobile Game at The  Game Awards 2025, becoming the first Japan-developed mobile game to win the award. The  franchise’s global popularity also extends to anime, with Umamusume: Cinderella Gray winning the  vote for Anime Trending’s Anime of the Year and Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New  Era voted Anime Movie of the Year in 2026.
