Attack on Titan Orchestra Concert World Tour Begins in April 2025
Attack on Titan has announced an orchestra concert world tour, which will be held in over 20 cities worldwide starting in April 2025. Titled Attack on Titan – Beyond the Walls World Tour – The Official Concertthe concert will be held in partnership with The Wild Faery Company, which also brought the ONE PIECE Music Symphony world tour.
The Attack on Titan orchestra concert tour will include performances at some of the world’s top venues, including the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, Carnegie Hall in New York, Wembley Arena in London, and the Sydney Opera House. Just as with the concerts in Japan, the orchestra will play while scenes from the anime are projected on a screen.
Hiroyuki SAWANO and KOHTA YAMAMOTO have prepared fan-favorite pieces, including “at’aek ON taitn,” “counter・attack-mankind,” “Apple Seed,” and “Footsteps of Doom.” Just like in Japan, the music will be performed by powerful world-class rock musicians joined by a symphonic orchestra.
This will also be the first official overseas Attack on Titan concert supervised by the composer of the anime’s music. Both Hiroyuki Sawano and KOHTA YAMAMOTO left comments on the announcement:
Hiroyuki Sawano (Seasons 1, 2, 3 and The Final Season): “I am thrilled that it has been decided that we will be holding Attack on Titan concerts overseas. The music of Attack on Titan has become a very important part of my musical career, and I am feeling fortunate that people all over the world are going to be able to enjoy my music through the series. The anime has come to an end, but I believe that this concert is a great opportunity to reunite the fans with the anime once more, and I think it will be a kind of a unique stage that could only happen with an overseas performance. I hope everyone can fully enjoy this opportunity.”
POINT YAMAMOTO (The Final Season): “Finally, the Attack on Titan concert will be held in countries outside of Japan. I’m truly excited and thrilled that, for the first time, we can deliver it to many Attack on Titan fans worldwide! This opportunity was made possible thanks to all of the Attack on Titan fans around the world. Thank you so much! Although Hiroyuki SAWANO and I cannot join this tour, the concert has been supervised by us, including the set list. The music from Attack on Titan will be performed as it was in Japan, so please look forward to it! I hope that many people will be able to experience and enjoy the music of Attack on Titan live!”
The anime producer Tetsuya Kinoshita also commented: “In Japan, we held a special live event at the end of each season, and we asked Hiroyuki SAWANO and, from the final season, KOHTA YAMAMOTO to perform the soundtrack for the show. This was very well received, so we have been trying to make overseas concerts a reality for many years. More than 10 years have passed since the anime was broadcast, and we are overjoyed to be able to hold the official anime concert in world-famous halls such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Sydney Opera House, the Palais des Congrès in Paris, and Wembley Arena in London. This concert will be supervised by the original composers, Hiroyuki SAWANO and KOHTA YAMAMOTO, and will be a program that will allow you to enjoy the world of “Attack on Titan” to the fullest, using anime footage and original materials. Specially designed concert goods will also be created, so do not miss this rare opportunity to relive the Attack on Titan experience through music!”
Tickets will be available from November 14, 2024 at 10am local time for most venues. You can visit the website for the concert for all the details.
