What is Video Games Live?

The first major U.S. video game music concert tour is finally here! Think music concert, theatrical stage show, and interactive video game all wrapped into one!

Video Games Live will feature the best music and video clips from the most popular games from the beginning of video gaming to the present. Games include: Mario™, Zelda®, Halo®, Metal Gear Solid®, Warcraft®, Myst®, Final Fantasy®, Castlevania®, Medal of Honor™, Sonic™, Tron, Tomb Raider®, Advent Rising, Headhunter, Beyond Good & Evil™, Splinter Cell®, Ghost Recon™, Rainbow Six®, EverQuest® II and a special retro arcade segment that goes from Pong® to Donkey Kong®! It will be a stellar event, which includes performances of the music, video and specially designed laser and light sequences showcasing over 50 different games in a wide variety of styles. Also included of course, is a special segment focusing on retro arcade classics!


This touring event will include a retrospective segment from the beginning of the video game era up to the present, several segments with game footage on three giant video screens, handheld cameras showing orchestra, and character close-ups. There will also be an interactive segment where selected audience members will actually play a game live onstage while the orchestra plays the music.

Music

Hear your favorite video game music played live for the first time ever right in front of your ears by a full orchestra and choir.

Video

See exclusive footage of your favorite games set to music on 3 giant interactive video screens.

Theatrical Stage Show

Certain segments will include live action and stunts performed by some of your favorite video game characters (don't worry, it won't be cheesy!) with special effects and a fully designed laser and light show synchronized with music and video.

An Interactive Video Game

A handful of lucky audience members will be selected to come up on stage and actually play a video game while the orchestra plays interactively with them!
