Celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog’s 35th by attending an upcoming Sonic Live In Concert experience

In case you missed the rather big Sonic the Hedgehog announcement from Sega and concert production company Senbla a few short days ago, tickets for the newly announced Sonic Live In Concert event are now available!

The concert tour will kick off at the First Interstate Center for the Arts in Spokane, WA on September 20th, 2026 and hits around 29 other venues across North America and Europe before finally wrapping up on February 20th, 2027 at Symphony Hall  in Birmingham, UK (see the full list below).  The Sonic Live In Concert experience will “feature most recognizable music from the Sonic universe, performed by a live ensemble alongside rock musicians, vocalists and electronic elements.”, and we assume fans will be encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Sonic character.

At first glance, tickets seem to range from $50 upwards of $200+ depending on venue, date and section requirements.  Either way, speed on over to the official site and snatch up some tickets here if interested: https://sonicliveinconcert.com/

As Sonic the Hedgehog celebrates 35 years as one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time, Senbla and SEGA today announced Sonic Live In Concert (www.sonicliveinconcert.com). This new concert experience brings the music and moments of the beloved video games to the stage.

Featuring iconic moments and music from the very first game in 1991 through today, the production will debut in the U.S. at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on September 26, 2026, before making its European premiere at London’s Eventim Apollo on September 30. The U.S. tour will visit more than 30 cities nationwide, and a UK tour will follow in February 2027. More European dates will be announced at a later time. Tickets will go on sale May 29, 2026, with pre-sale tickets going on sale on May 28, 2026.

As part of a global rollout celebrating the franchise’s milestone anniversary, Sonic Live In Concert features the most recognizable music from the Sonic universe, performed by a live ensemble alongside rock musicians, vocalists, and electronic elements. The setlist includes fan-favorite tracks and an incredible array of music from the very first game through to today accompanied by synchronized HD footage of iconic levels, moments and boss battles from the franchise. Audiences can expect musical Easter eggs woven into the arrangements, adding an extra layer of discovery that brings Sonic’s world vividly to life on stage.

The concert also highlights the creative legacy behind Sonic’s music from legendary composers Jun Senoue and Tomoya Ohtani, whose work has helped define Sonic’s sound across generations.

“Sonic has some of the most distinct and celebrated music in gaming,” says Ollie Rosenblatt, CEO of Senbla. “We wanted to create a live show that stays true to what the fans love about Sonic’s music, from the electronic and melodic themes to high-energy rock.”

“Music has always been a core part of Sonic’s identity, shaping how fans experience this world across generations,” said Ivo Gerscovich, Chief Business & Brand Officer at SEGA of America, Inc. “With this concert, we’re looking forward to celebrating that legacy in a live setting; bringing together the energy, emotion, and creativity of Sonic’s music in a way that both longtime fans and new audiences can enjoy together.”

Since his debut in 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog has become a global entertainment icon spanning video games, film, television, and consumer products. With renewed momentum driven by recent film releases, new game titles, and a global brand campaign tied to the 35th anniversary, the franchise continues to reach new generations of fans worldwide.
