The long-running Metal Gear in Concert series will finally get a UK premiere on 1st November 2025, at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Metal Gear Solid voice talent Stefanie Joosten (Quiet) and Donna Burke (iDroid) will make special guest appearances, while the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performs excerpts from the series’ soundtrack and “iconic songs”.
If you’re a fan of Hideo Kojima’s stealth action series, you’ll be able to listen to tracks such as Encounter and Father and Son, plus songs such as The Best is Yet to Come, Snake Eater and Heavens Divide.
For a taster, here’s Burke belting out Sins of the Father from the 2020 Metal Gear in Concert performance held in Tokyo. It’s stirring stuff.
Metal Gear in Concert began in Osaka in 2017, and has since been performed most years in Japan. Subsequent performances have been toured internationally to Paris, New York and Los Angeles – but never to the UK, until this year.
Tempted? Tickets for the event’s matinee (at 2.30pm) and evening (at 7.30pm) performances on 1st November will go on general sale at 10am this Thursday, 17th April via the Royal Albert Hall ticket site.
Kojima may have now left the Metal Gear series behind, but he is making a return to its genre for the mysterious upcoming Physint, a fresh action-espionage game and movie set to arrive at some point for PlayStation 5, following the upcoming launch of Death Stranding 2.
