‘Pokémon Night Out’ with Marshmello and Alison Wonderland
The tour hits two major hubs later this year.
If you spent your childhood curled up under a blanket with a Game Boy, it’s time to trade in your Link cable for glow sticks.
In celebration of its big 30th anniversary, Pokémon is taking to the electronic dance music (EDM) scene with a new concert series, Pokémon Night Out. Featuring Marshmello and Alison Wonderland, the franchise takes a step into the world of live music, combining energetic beats with nostalgia from the Kanto region and beyond.
Later this year, the tour will visit two major hubs. Los Angeles fans will be able to visit the Intuit Dome on October 24, 2026, while London fans will take to the O2 Arena on November 10, 2026. However, due to the clubby atmosphere and raucous production, these specific shows are only for fans aged 16 and over. If you want to secure your spot, tickets for the US show will go on sale starting April 17, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, and for the UK show via AXS.
This isn’t just your standard DJ show with a Pikachu sticker on the console. The Pokémon Company promises a full-fledged audiovisual experience, where the stage design and animations tell the story alongside the music.
Both Marshmello and Alison Wonderland are true fans of the series, so the “What’s Your Favorite?” campaign feels authentic and not just a corporate tie-in. You can expect some unique visuals that feature iconic characters like Mewtwo and Pikachu synced to bass sounds.
For younger fans or those who prefer a more relaxed daytime experience, Pokémon will also be introducing Pokémon Day Out in the summer of 2026. This family-friendly tour will visit France, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, offering an affordable alternative to high-energy EDM shows.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Pokémon event without loot. Limited-edition Pokémon Night Out merchandise will be available both at the event and online, though history suggests these items will sell out faster than a teleporting Abra. All of this foray into the concert space shows just how close the brand has become to its original audience, proving that Pokémon is just as comfortable in sold-out arenas as it is on a laptop screen.
