Konami has confirmed a dedicated orchestral tour to mark four decades of Castlevania, announcing three international dates for Castlevania 40th Anniversary: An Orchestral Concert.
The event aims to celebrate the franchise's music and legacy with performances across Japan, the United Kingdom and North America.
The tour currently lists three confirmed shows: Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall on 13 March 2027, Eventim Apollo in London on 14 March 2027, and the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on 26 March 2027.
Tickets for all three performances go on sale 1 October at 12:00 p.m.
JST, 12:00 p.m.
BST and 10:00 a.m.
PDT, per the official tour announcement.
Konami says the live program will be performed by a 25-piece rock orchestra and will feature gameplay footage projected on-screen during the concerts.
The publisher has indicated the setlist will span 40 years of Castlevania music, including arranged renditions of staple tracks such as Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears alongside themes listed as Beginning, Divine Bloodlines and Dracula's Castle.
Konami described the arrangements as crafted to convey both atmospheric stillness and high-energy battle sequences, reflecting the series' musical evolution.
The orchestral presentation joins a pair of high-profile gaming anniversary concerts planned for 2027.
The Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert tour is scheduled in the same anniversary period; according to publisher notices, tickets for the Zelda shows are set to go on sale 30 September, which means music-focused fans may see consecutive ticket release windows.
Castlevania has a long history on home consoles and handheld platforms, including multiple entries released on Nintendo systems over the franchise's lifespan.
This orchestral tour underscores Konami's continued investment in celebrating legacy IP through live events and curated musical retrospectives.
