Date: 2024-10-21

PLAYSTATION has recently announced that it will be taking part in a world tour featuring music from across different PlayStation franchises.

Called PlayStation: The Concert, music from various PlayStation soundtracks will be played across the world.

It will apparently not just be a concert but a “state-of-the-art production” with “cutting-edge visual technology”.

This is apparently a multi-screen stage that combines LEDs and projections to show off visuals from the games.

PlayStation The Concert’s tour begins on April 15, 2025, in Dublin, Ireland, and will be available in over 200 cities across Europe, the United States, and beyond.

It will take place in six locations across the UK, including Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and London.

Tickets are available from Friday, October 18, 2024, at 3pm BST and are expected to sell out quickly.

However, PlayStation members can buy tickets now using the code PLAYCONCERT24 when they go to purchase.

A number of games were name-dropped to feature in the concert, including God of War, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, and Horizon.

It then name-drops the composers who worked on these soundtracks, namely Gustavo Santaolalla, Joris De Man, Ilan Eshkeri and Bear McCreary.

These are the only four series named in the press release, but it appears that they aren’t the only games that will be included.

However, these soundtracks are all world-renowned and have been featured in other live music events, such as The Game Awards 10-Year Concert and TGA ceremonies in the past.

The concert itself will feature “an all-star ensemble blending classical and modern instruments”.

This isn’t the first time video games have gone on musical concert tours, and Nintendo is well-known for its Mario and Zelda anniversary concerts.

However, it’s the first time that PlayStation has now put its hat in the ring to bring gaming soundtracks to life.
