“The idea of a Kingdom Hearts concert has been in the works for several years,” says Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the Kingdom Hearts Series. “The World Tour is slated for 2017, the same year as the Kingdom Hearts 15th anniversary. In the meantime, fans will get a chance to explore the world of Kingdom Hearts II.8, which is coming out later this year. I hope the excitement and joy they get from the experience will only increase their anticipation for the release of Kingdom Hearts III.

“”Please have a Kingdom Hearts orchestral concert.” I heard this quite often, and it echoed my own feelings. I’ve wanted to have a concert for some time, and I’m happy to announce that it’s finally become a reality,” says Yoko Shimomura, Composer for the Kingdom Hearts series. “When I began composing for the Kingdom Hearts series, I couldn’t even dream this day would come. But it has, thanks to our beloved fans. This concert and the music of Kingdom Hearts could not have existed without their undying support. I can’t thank them enough.

The concert will encompass my feelings toward the series and those dear to me around the world. I look forward to seeing everyone there!”

If you are interested in getting tickets for this show then I would get them as soon as they go on sale as it is sure to sell out pretty quickly if other gaming related concerts are any indication. Do you plan on attending one of these showings? Tell us what you think below.
