Stardew Valley concert tour visits London in April

UPDATE 28/11/23: Stardew Valley: Festival of Seasons has added new dates, some with two performances on one day, to its tour schedule next year.

In the UK, fans can try their hand at getting tickets for an additional London date, or newly-scheduled stops at Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Manchester.

Outside of the UK, dates have been added across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, North America, and Asia. Details on when tickets go on-sale will be coming soon to the tour's website.

The added dates brings the number of stops on the tour to 45, making it the largest dedicated concert tour for an indie game.

In an statement accompanying the announcement, Barone said the reaction to Festival of Seasons "is a testament to the amazing passion of the Stardew community, and I'm delighted that more people can now experience this music as a live orchestral performance".

ORIGINAL STORY 11/10/23: Stardew Valley is bringing its first concert tour to London in April next year.

Festival of Seasons will begin in February 2024, touring North America and Australia before it reaches London. The programme has been curated by Stardew Valley creator (and composer) Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, and will showcase music from the game performed by local chamber orchestras.

The show will be divided into four sections, to represent the four seasons, and fans can expect to hear tracks such as Stardew Valley Overture, Spring (The Valley Comes Alive) and Dance of the Moonlight Jellies, as well as "plenty of surprises and fan-favourite deep cuts".

"Music is very important to me, so it's been really wonderful to see Stardew Valley's soundtrack resonate with so many people," Barone said in a statement accompanying the announcement of Festival of Seasons. "I'm really looking forward to seeing it performed live in concert in the Festival of Seasons."

Fans are encouraged to cosplay if attending the concert. There'll be some exclusive merchandise on sale at each show.

The full list of dates can be found on the Stardew Valley: Festival of Seasons website. Festival of Seasons will play London at Chelsea's Cadogan Hall on 29th April. Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday (13th - here's hoping I get lucky) at 10am local time.

When not putting together a recital programme, Barone has continued development on Stardew Valley's 1.6 update which includes a new major festival and fashionable farm pets. Although Barone has paused development on his new project Haunted Chocolatier, last week he shared new screenshots of the game.
