Castlevania 40 years: symphonic concert in 2027 in Tokyo, London and Los Angeles

Konami marks Castlevania’s 40th anniversary with a symphonic concert in Tokyo, London and Los Angeles in March 2027.

  • The shows are scheduled for 13, 14 and 26 March 2027 and will be performed by a 25-piece power rock orchestra.
  • According to the report, the setlist spans the whole series, including Bloody Tears, Vampire Killer and a first live performance of music from Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.

What happened

Konami has announced a Castlevania symphony concert as part of the franchise’s 40th anniversary celebrations. The production is being handled by Lambert Jackson Productions and features new arrangements and orchestrations by composer Adam Hoskins. In the supplied reporting, the concert is described as an official Konami production with an international scope and a focus on the series’ musical history.

The concert series is planned for three cities: Tokyo on 13 March 2027, London on 14 March 2027 and Los Angeles on 26 March 2027. Based on the available information, the show will be performed by a 25-piece power rock orchestra and the programme will cover music from the first Castlevania game through to the modern era of the series. That brings the franchise’s full musical legacy together in one live production.

Konami’s announcement also highlights several well-known tracks, including Bloody Tears, Vampire Killer, Divine Bloodlines and Dracula's Castle from Symphony of the Night. The concert description also includes music from Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, which the report says will be performed live for the first time. The supplied sources do not provide any additional release details for that project, only that it is listed in the concert programme.

Some ticketing details are already known. Tickets for Los Angeles go on sale on 1 October 2026 at 10:00 PT, while London follows the same day at 12:00 BST. For Tokyo, a lottery-based pre-sale begins on 1 October 2026 at 12:00 JST; an open general sale date has not yet been announced in the supplied information. So while the first sale windows are confirmed, the full ticketing rollout has not been detailed for all three cities.

Background

Castlevania has been known for decades for its distinctive soundtrack, with recurring themes such as Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer. The concert announcement leans into that musical legacy and brings material from multiple entries in the series together in one live production. The combination of a 25-piece power rock orchestra and new arrangements by Adam Hoskins underlines that this is a special performance created for the anniversary.

The available sources also mention an upcoming work titled Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, but do not independently confirm its official status or release date. As a result, the only confirmed detail here is that the concert announcement includes music from that project as part of the programme. The sources also do not indicate any additional cities beyond Tokyo, London and Los Angeles, so the current tour information remains limited to those three locations.

The external context also says the international tour is being promoted by Soho Live and Lambert Jackson Productions. In the same context, it is confirmed that Los Angeles tickets go on sale on 1 October 2026 at 10:00 PT. That lines up with the concert announcement and gives a concrete sale time for one of the three shows, while Tokyo is still listed only with a lottery-based pre-sale.
