The team behind Marvel Rivals have announced a live concert will be premiering in London this October.

‘Marvel Rivals Galactic Concert’ is the first time the game’s energetic soundtrack, composed by Masahiro Aoki, will be performed live.

According to a press release, the show will pair a live rock band with a sweeping symphonic orchestra and soaring vocalists to “rework the game’s soundtrack into new stage arrangements not heard anywhere else.” The gig will also feature “high-definition visuals” that showcase the heroes, villains and “shifting worlds of the Marvel Rivals universe, tying the music directly to the moments fans already know from the game.”

“For fans who’ve spent hundreds of hours in the game’s battlefields, the concert reframes the music they already know, pairing rock and orchestra with the cinematic beats of the Marvel Rivals universe live,” the description of the concert continues. “It’s the loudest, biggest way yet to experience a game that’s become a phenomenon since its 2024 launch.”

‘Marvel Rivals Galactic Concert’ will premiere on October 22 at London’s Indigo At The O2. Tickets are available from tomorrow (September 15) via presale before a general sale on Friday (September 18). Head here for more information.

Marvel Rivals is a team-based multiplayer shooter that launched in 2024 and now features more than 50 heroes and villains from the Marvel universe.

Last summer, the cast of The Fantastic Four went viral as Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (The Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) played themselves in the hit online game.
“This is very difficult, how do kids learn how to do this? Are there console classes one can take,” asked Pascal before getting to grips with the game. “I think [Marvel Rivals] is beautiful. I’m literally going to retire and learn how to game. I think you’ve introduced a very dangerous chapter into my future.”
In other news, , Sega has confirmed a new partnership with Netflix, with a trio of adaptations heading to the streamer in the near future – Crazy TaxiSonic The Hedgehog and Stranger Than Heaven. “The fandoms of these games deserve storytelling that honours what makes each title special, and we know Netflix shares that commitment,” said Sega president Shuji Utsumi
