Video Games Live

An International Concert Event

About Me


WHAT IS VIDEO GAMES LIVE!?!?!?!
Video Games Live is an immersive concert event featuring music from the biggest video games of all time. Top orchestras and choirs across the world perform along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, lasers, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive one-of-a-kind entertainment experience.
Video Games Live is a complete celebration of the fastest growing entertainment market. The festival atmosphere of Video Games Live includes pre and post show events such as costume contests, playable demos, prizes, game designer/composer meet and greets and more.

    Video Games Live combines the energy and special effects of a rock concert, the emotions and power of a live symphony orchestra, and the exciting cutting edge interactive technology of video games all into a live concert event.
    The debut performance on July 6th, 2005 at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic Orchestra saw over 10,000 audience members take part in the biggest video game concert in history.
    The concert tour will be renewed with a refurbishment of the show on an annual basis. We will grow each market, one concert at a time, partnering with local symphonies and co-marketing the event with established video game, anime, sci-fi, and comic book related conventions and festivals.
