Forty years after a lone vampire hunter first stepped through the gates of Dracula’s castle, the music of Castlevania rises again. Castlevania 40th Anniversary An Orchestral Concert, an official concert event licensed by Konami, will bring one of the most celebrated soundtracks in video game history to the stage for three landmark performances:

13 March: Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, Tokyo
14 March: Eventim Apollo, London
26 March: Dolby Theatre, Los Angeles

Performed by a 25-piece power rock orchestra and synchronised with gameplay footage projected in stunning detail, the concert traces the series’ journey from its 1986 origins through to its modern era, a body of music that has transcended gaming to become a cultural phenomenon in its own right.

In a world exclusive, the concert will also feature the first ever live performance of music from Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, releasing in 2026.

Audiences can expect the series’ most beloved and most streamed themes, including the immortal “Bloody Tears,” the iconic “Vampire Killer,” the gothic grandeur of “Dracula’s Castle” from Symphony of the Night, and the heroic “Divine Bloodlines, ” music that has been reimagined across generations of games, covered by artists worldwide, and featured in the hit Netflix animated series. The evening will span the full breadth of the franchise, from the NES classics through Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night and the acclaimed handheld era.
