As previously promised,the Sonic Symphony is going on tour, bringing back theultra-popular music performancethat marked the series' 30th anniversary. Two tour dates have been announced so far, with the first two shows taking place this September in the US and UK.
Tickets aren’t on sale just yet, but the first show is set for September 16. This will be held in London’s Barbican Hall, giving fans in the UK a chance to watch the orchestra live after the successful online show in 2021. After that, it will hit Los Angeles on September 30, held in the Dolby Theatre.

Pre-sale for both shows starts on May 25. It’s not clear how much a standard ticket will cost, but theBarbican Hall websitelists them as costing between £25 to £105, depending on how bougie you want to feel while the sweet sounds of Crush 40 blast through the hall.

So, the LA date is looking a tad more expensive than the London show, but at least we can see what our options are and plan accordingly. We’ve askedSegaif it can give us any further details on future shows, and will update this article if we get a response. As for now, these are our options. Although the email we received does mention the Sonic Symphony going into 2024 as well, so it’s pretty much guaranteed that it will come to other locations.
The original Sonic Symphony was a huge hit, giving us live renditions of classic Sonic tracks. The performance took us through the ages, right from the blue blur’s Mega Drive roots to the modern day. For many, the highlight was hearing Crush 40 live - hopefully, they can make it for this encore.
However, the release ofSonic Frontiersa year after the symphony just gives them even more material to work with. It’s not known if the setlist will be expanded to reflect this, but it would be a glaring omission if not. The game’s full of bangers, and you don’t just get full rock tracks written for every boss battlenotto make the most of them at a live show.
All in all, it looks like it will be a busy year for Sonic fans. Not only do we have the symphony at the end of the summer, there’s alsothe Sonic Frontiers expansionbefore that.Sonic Origins Plusshould also be with us in June, and hopefully, that will impress a little more than the compilation title we got last year.
