The debut did the thing every promoter dreams of. It made a remarkable impression, drew an overwhelmingly positive response and sent people out onto the street still humming. So Ghibli Live at The Palace comes back, this time as a restage concert, and once again it invites audiences through the world of Studio Ghibli's animated films by way of live music.
The setting matters as much as the programme. The Thewarat Sapharom Throne Hall at Phaya Thai Palace has just reopened after a full restoration, and this run is one of the first real reasons to step inside. Built in the early 20th century, the hall stands a short walk from Victory Monument, all high ceilings, pale stonework and the hush of a building that has watched a century go by. Music and memory come together here again, and the room gives them the space to do it.
The line-up gathers Studio Ghibli's best-loved film scores, reworked and performed by a company of skilled musicians. You'll know the melodies before you know the titles. The soft ones from My Neighbour Totoro that reach back somewhere quiet. The bigger, hopeful pieces from Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle that catch people off guard every time. Most of it comes from Joe Hisaishi, whose long partnership with Hayao Miyazaki is the reason these tunes have outlasted the films they were written for. Heard live, in a hall this size, they land properly.
Ghibli Live at The Palace runs across five shows over three days: January 8 2027 at 7pm, then January 9 and 10 2027 at 2pm and 7pm, all at the Thewarat Sapharom Throne Hall, Phaya Thai Palace.
Tickets go on sale July 6 2026 at 10am.
