Expect remarkable athleticism, high energy spectacle and drums that explode with energy. Passion meets tradition in a show which drums up the spirit of Japan.
Taiko drumming is a centuries-old tradition in Japanese culture, and the drummers of YAMATO continue to challenge the boundaries of what it can be. They push themselves to their absolute limits and leave audiences breathless in the process.
After a successful run at the Peacock in 2019, YAMATO return to London in 2024 with their latest show. This new work marks the 30th anniversary of the company and celebrates the group’s tours and performances in around 54 different countries and regions, with over 4,500 performances that reached almost 8 million people.
With that unwavering aspiration, YAMATO continues its odyssey with taiko drums.

Dear I am not a drummer - i had heard about the troupe and was curious - i was amazed at the energy and the precision and the aesthetic .. my husband was not and asked we leave at the interval.
one of the best shows I have seen they were outstanding in what was delivered and thoroughly enjoyed the show
Excellent show all round.
It was an unforgettable experience.
Incredible, Magic
I enjoyed the performance, energy and scenery. However there was unnecessary glare from the lighting, that is easily fixed to match the polished performance.
Talented musicians, introduced humour, variety, and a sense of fun in the second half of the show. Both audience and cast seemed to have a really great time. Would highly recommend
Outstanding performance. Dynamic, energetic, captivating.
Phenomenal!!! Inspirational, powerful, genuinely uplifting.
