Konami Announces Castlevania 40th Anniversary Concert Tour
Konami has revealed Castlevania 40th Anniversary: An Orchestral Concert, a three-date tour starting in Japan, then the UK, and ending in North America.
Konami has announced Castlevania 40th Anniversary: An Orchestral Concert, a touring orchestral show celebrating four decades of the series. Three dates have been revealed so far, with the run beginning in Japan before moving to the UK and finishing in North America.
The announcement marks the latest in a growing line of video game concert tours, as publishers continue to bring their soundtracks to concert halls around the world. Konami has not yet shared venues, dates, or ticket details for the three stops.
Castlevania's music has long been a defining part of the series, with composers like Michiru Yamane earning a following well beyond the games themselves. An orchestral format gives that catalogue a natural stage.
The news follows the previously announced Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert tour, which is set to take place next year, showing that anniversary concerts are becoming a regular fixture for long-running franchises.
Nintendo Life reported the Castlevania tour announcement. More details on the three dates are expected closer to the shows.
