Tickets go on sale this Friday for PlayStation The Concert, a new ‘state-of-the-art’ live show featuring music from video games such as God Of War and The Last Of Us.

Sony is taking the 30th anniversary of the original PlayStation very seriously, with the release of (now sold out) PS1-insipired limited edition consoles and a range of controllers and other promotional items.

The publisher has also just announced that it will be launching what’s called PlayStation The Concert, a live music show that will tour the world.

Premiering in Dublin in April 2025, before going on a world tour through 2026, the ‘state-of-the-art’ live show will offer music from titles such as God Of War, The Last Of Us, Ghost Of Tsushima, and the Horizon series with tickets going on sale this Friday.

‘It’s a brand-new state of the art and groundbreaking arena show which will celebrate the iconic music from some of PlayStation’s biggest games with some incredible staging,’ the organiser says.

Curiously, despite being part of the the 30th anniversary celebrations, there is currently no indication of any games being featured that weren’t released either on the PlayStation 4 or 5. Whether other, older, titles will also be acknowledged is unclear.

The show will travel globally, visiting over 200 cities, starting in Dublin on April 15, with these UK dates to follow:

Tickets can be bought on the PlayStation website starting Friday, October 18 at 15:00 BST.

‘An innovative multi-screen design, combining advanced LED and projection technologies, will enhance the event and deliver the most iconic moments and imagery from these games,’ the organiser says.

‘Coupled with surround sound, the show delivers breathtaking visual and audio depth, creating an immersive experience that will allow the audience to relive their gaming adventures like never before.’

Although this is the first to be given prominent PlayStation branding, similar concerts have been held before, such as the one conducted by Eímear Noone earlier in the year.
