Video Games Live Hits London

The Video Games Live concert is heading for the United Kingdom. If you're a fan of videogame music, London's the place to be this November.

For anyone who's ever picked up a games console, the event you've been waiting for has finally arrived. Video Games Live, brought to you by AEG Live, is the first ever concert to celebrate music from the biggest video games of all time from Mario to Final Fantasy. Having sold out to a massive 11,000 crowd on its debut performance in the US last year : making it the largest video game concert in the world - Video Games Live will now navigate its way successfully through to the next level when it hits UK shores on November 25th at London's Hammersmith Apollo.

Share the intensity and thrill of the gaming world's most powerful compositions, as a live orchestra and choir recreate the best video game music on a spectacular stage. The show combines exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, cinema surround sound and interactive segments to create an explosive entertainment experience. With music from the retro days of Pong to the fast paced action of Halo, Video Games Live will transport you into the heart of the gaming world. There will also be spectacular prizes, first time playable games and the opportunity to meet Britain's top game designers and composers.

Video Games Live features music and exclusive synchronized video from popular franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Warcraft, Myst, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Kingdom Hearts, Medal of Honor, Sonic, Tron, God of War, Tomb Raider, Advent Rising, Headhunter, Beyond Good & Evil, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, EverQuest II and a special retro Classic Arcade Medley featuring over 20 games from Pong to Donkey Kong including such classics as Dragon's Lair, Tetris, Frogger, Gauntlet, Duck Hunt, Rastan, Space Invaders, and Outrun!

"Video games and their music have evolved into our culture," said Phil Harrison, President at Sony Computer Entertainment. "This event helps to celebrate video games as the significant global art-form they have become, as well as receiving the artistic respect they deserve."

Celebrate the music from the games you love when Video Games Live comes to London this November (25th to be exact). Tickets are £25, are on sale now and are available from the 24-Hour hotline: 0870 405 0448 or online @ www.aeglive.co.uk.

  I was going to go to this for my birthday last year, but it got cancelled. I was so disappointed. I hope it comes back to a town near me...

  Let's hope they can get the great Nobuo Uematsu there. Without him, it's not a real video game concert.
