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.
