The landmark EVANGELION:30+; 30th ANNIVERSARY OF EVANGELION event will take place at Yokohama Arena from February 21–23, 2026. The three-day celebration marks 30 years since the groundbreaking 1995 TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion first aired, sparking a nationwide phenomenon.
The event will feature two main zones. The “EVA EXTRA 30” exhibition invites fans to explore the series’ history through rare production materials, virtual camera studios, and special anniversary content, all organized around a massive six-sided LED Central Tower. Collaboration booths from partner companies will also be on display.
Meanwhile, the “STAGE AREA” offers a festival-style program, including live music, fashion shows, talk sessions, and immersive video experiences on a giant 18×15 meter LED screen. The third day will debut the highly anticipated Eva Kabuki (tentative title), alongside a world premiere of a special video.
Studio Khara’s creators oversee the event’s overall direction, presenting an ambitious showcase of Evangelion’s past, present, and future for fans to experience firsthand.
In addition to the immersive exhibits and stage programs, the event will host the “EVANGELION:30+; OFFICIAL STORE – produced by EVANGELION STORE –”, offering a wide array of event-exclusive merchandise celebrating the 30th anniversary. A “Fans Market” will also take place, allowing pre-registered creators—both professional and amateur—to showcase and sell their original works.
Tickets go on pre-sale via lottery starting Saturday, October 4, at 10:00 a.m. JST, with separate passes for the EVA EXTRA 30 and STAGE AREA, as well as combination tickets granting access to both areas each day.
