Nintendo announces a worldwide concert tour to celebrate The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary, featuring live orchestrated music. The announcement is made during Nintendo’s 40th Anniversary Direct, with composer Koji Kondo appearing as part of the presentation.
The tour is planned for 2027 with multiple regional legs. Sources agree that Japan is the first and most expansive schedule, beginning in January 2027, followed by North America, Europe, and Australia later in the year. Reported start dates include Tokyo on January 23, 2027, with additional Japanese stops in February and March, and further locations through April. North America is scheduled to begin in Chicago on February 22, while Europe starts in London on April 3 and Australia starts in May.
Across outlets, the main differing emphasis is on timing details and ticket expectations. Both note that ticket sales are expected to begin later this month, though the specific ticketing timeline and undisclosed venue information may vary by region. The programming is described as covering both nostalgic and modern Zelda music spanning the series’ history, without a full tracklist disclosed in the reports.
