PlayStation’s concert series is coming to the US
Sony is bringing its PlayStation concerts to the US this fall, where you can hear live performances of tracks from franchises like God of War, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, and Horizon. Ticket pre-sales for PlayStation: The Concert begin on Wednesday, and you can see the full list of current tour dates on the PlayStation website.
In addition to music from those big tentpole games (and the setlist better include Ghost of Tsushima’s incredible title drop), the concerts will showcase “fan-favorite themes from Bloodborne, Astrobot, Journey, Uncharted, and Helldivers 2, offering a rich and diverse journey through the PlayStation universe. A live band will play the music while “the latest LED technology and state-of-the-art multi-layered projections” will turn the stage into “a mesmerizing visual masterpiece.”
You can get an idea of what it will all look like through a trailer and a behind-the-scenes video.
These sorts of video game concert series are becoming increasingly common. Square Enix put on a FFVII Rebirth-focused tour, for example – I went to it last year, it was fun! Kojima Productions is putting on a Death Stranding 2 concert series that will begin a world tour later this year. And after the brief orchestral performance of Balatro’s soundtrack at The Game Awards last year, I’m hoping that Jimbo hits the road with his band someday, too.
