Kishi Bashi: Sonderlust 10th Anniversary Tour at The Fillmore

A decade after the release of Sonderlust, Kishi Bashi brings the celebrated album back to the stage for a special anniversary performance at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Sunday, October 25, 2026. The concert begins at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 7:00 PM, giving Bay Area audiences the opportunity to experience this landmark record as part of the artist’s 2026 Sonderlust 10th Anniversary Tour.

Kishi Bashi, the musical project of violinist and singer-songwriter Kaoru Ishibashi, is known for creating music that blends intricate string arrangements, expressive vocals, orchestral color, pop songwriting, and adventurous instrumentation. Sonderlust, originally released in 2016, represented an especially personal chapter in his creative journey. The album moved toward warmer textures, vintage synthesizers, soulful arrangements, and a more vulnerable songwriting style, creating a record that feels both richly detailed and deeply human.

The anniversary tour gives fans a chance to revisit that material in a live setting. Kishi Bashi has confirmed that he will perform Sonderlust in full during the 2026 tour, making this more than a standard concert—it is a celebration of an album and the musical perspective it represents.

The San Francisco performance will take place in general admission, with an open dance floor and standing room only. There will be no reserved seating, so attendees should plan for a standing concert experience. The open-floor setup creates a direct connection between the performer and audience, making the atmosphere particularly suited to music as expressive and dynamic as Kishi Bashi’s.

The Fillmore date is part of the later West Coast portion of the 2026 tour, following performances in Los Angeles and preceding the tour’s final dates.

Whether Sonderlust has been part of your listening life for years or you’re discovering Kishi Bashi for the first time, this anniversary performance offers a memorable opportunity to hear the album live. Make plans for Sunday, October 25, arrive before the 7:00 PM doors, and get ready for an evening of inventive strings, vibrant melodies, emotional songwriting, and the unmistakable creativity of Kishi Bashi at The Fillmore.
