HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2026 EUROPE opens its tour at The O2 in London on Thursday 12 November 2026. The following night the tour’s club event, Digital Stars, takes over Heaven beneath Charing Cross station, with a line-up of producers who write songs for Miku.
Hatsune Miku is a singing voice synthesiser made by Crypton Future Media in Sapporo and first released on 31 August 2007. Anyone can type in lyrics and a melody and have her sing them, which is how producers around the world came to write songs for her. She is often grouped with VTubers, although nobody performs as Miku in real time: her voice comes from the software, and her songs come from the people who use it.
