Forty years after a lone vampire hunter first stepped through the gates of Dracula's castle, the music of Castlevania rises again. Castlevania 40th Anniversary An Orchestral Concert, an official concert event licensed by Konami, will bring one of the most celebrated soundtracks in video game history to the stage for three landmark performances:
- 13 March: Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, Tokyo
- 14 March: Eventim Apollo, London
- 26 March: Dolby Theatre, Los Angeles
Performed by a 25-piece power rock orchestra and synchronised with gameplay footage projected in stunning detail, the concert traces the series' journey from its 1986 origins through to its modern era, a body of music that has transcended gaming to become a cultural phenomenon in its own right.
In a world exclusive, the concert will also feature the first-ever live performance of music from Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, releasing in 2026.
Audiences can expect the series' most beloved and most streamed themes, including the immortal "Bloody Tears," the iconic "Vampire Killer," the gothic grandeur of "Dracula's Castle" from Symphony of the Night, and the heroic "Divine Bloodlines," music that has been reimagined across generations of games, covered by artists worldwide, and featured in the hit Netflix animated series.
Castlevania 40th Anniversary An Orchestral Concert is created by Lambert Jackson Productions, with creative direction by Thomas Redgrave, video design by Symfoni Digital and all new arrangements and orchestrations by Adam Hoskins. The international tour is promoted by Soho Live and Lambert Jackson Productions.
