SEGA announces Sonic Symphony world tour

Sonic the Hedgehog has had a tumultuous life. Following the past decade or so of mediocrity, the Blue Blur has had somewhat of a resurgence thanks to the likes of the Sonic films, the Netflix original Sonic Prime and of course, the success of the latest mainline video game entry: Sonic Frontiers. Taking advantage of the series’ current hotness, SEGA has announced a Sonic Symphony World Tour.

Making the announcement via a press release, SEGA said “The music of Sonic the Hedgehog continues! Following the standalone Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Symphony and Brazil Game Show 2022 performances, today SEGA announced the Sonic Symphony World Tour will kick off this fall into 2024, bringing a medley of fan-favourite Sonic tracks to multiple cities.”

Taking place this September, the tour dates released so far is as follows:

• September 16, 2023 – London, UK at Barbican Hall
• September 30, 2023 – Los Angeles, CA at Dolby Theatre

For those interested in the performances, pre-sale tickets will go live this Thursday on the 25th of May at 10am local time, with public sales following the next day on Friday the 26th.

As mentioned, the Sonic the Hedgehog series has been rather inconsistent in the past, with gameplay, story and more all suffering from title to title. That said, one aspect of the series which has received constant praise is its music, and so for Sonic fans this symphony will be representing the best of the franchise regardless of which OST’s make an appearance. Hopefully more franchises in the future offer similarly exciting world tour performances.
