Bocchi the Rock! Gets a Feature Film and Its First Asia Concert Tour

On 1 November 2026, two major announcements tied to the hugely popular anime Bocchi the Rock! emerged. First, a theatrical feature film titled Eiga Bocchi the Rock! Hoshi no Ashiato was confirmed for release in 2027. Directed by Shin Wakabayashi with a screenplay by Erika Yoshida, the CloverWorks production adapts a manga side story centred on Seika, the older sister of Kessoku Band drummer Nijika. Advance tickets go on sale in Japan on 6 November for ¥1,600. Second, the fictional in-universe band Kessoku Band will embark on its first Asia concert tour beginning 13 March 2027. Performances are scheduled across three cities: Osaka at Intex Osaka on 13–14 March, Seoul at KINTEX on 8 May, and Hong Kong at AsiaWorld-Expo on 22 May 2027. Bocchi the Rock! follows a shy, socially anxious teenage girl who discovers herself through playing guitar and forming a band, and its blend of heartfelt storytelling and virtuosic animated guitar sequences has made it one of the most beloved anime of the 2020s. These dual announcements — a film and an international tour — mark a significant expansion of the franchise beyond Japan.
