Spectacular concert premiere at gamescom 2015:
Tickets for ‘Video Games Live’ available exclusively
from Saturn stores in the Cologne region
Ingolstadt, 21.05.2015: Where would video games be without
music? Just like films, each game has its own distinctive theme
tune, and the soundtracks of video games are very popular
among gamers. It’s therefore no wonder that games fans are
eagerly looking forward to the internationally acclaimed concert
event ‘Video Games Live’, in which the greatest gaming hits will
be performed live on stage. This year, this spectacular show will
be staged at gamescom 2015 in Cologne for the very first time.
The premiere is on 7 August – and tickets have gone on sale
exclusively at 17 Saturn stores in and around Cologne.
The concept of ‘Video Games Live’ was developed by Tommy
Tallarico – a superstar in the gaming scene. The show is being taken
all over the world and this year will be appearing in for example New
York, Montreal, Vienna, Berlin, Sydney, Prague, Beijing, Madrid and
Sao Paulo. The live performance of music from the most popular
video games is a must for not just hardcore gamers but also fans of
rock and classical music – in fact it’s a real inside tip for all those who
are unfamiliar with the genre and receptive to musical discoveries.
The programme features music from Final Fantasy, Warcraft, Sonic,
Skyrim, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Castlevania, Street
Fighter II, Mega Man, Monkey Island, Earthworm Jim and other
classic video games. Remarkably, all the gaming hits are performed
by a large symphony orchestra featuring choirs and instrumental
soloists, while key scenes from the respective video games are
shown on the big screen. Additional effects are provided by an
amazing light show, turning the concert into a unique multimedia
event.
