Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions Concert Tour to Kick Off at World Championships

Pokémon fans will be treated to a new event at the Pokémon World Championships this year taking place in Washington DC from August 15th to 17th. The night of the Last Chance Qualifier on August 15th,  the first ever Pokémon Symphonic Evolutions concert will premier at the Warner Theater. A second show has also been announced for Philadelphia with more cities coming soon. You can keep an eye on upcoming dates and locations as well as purchase tickets at the Pokémon Symphony web page.

The music will cover every mainline Pokémon game and is produced by the same people who put on the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess tour. You can expect new arrangements and a visual component to the concert.

By premiering at the Pokémon World Championships, The Pokémon Company International and Princeton Entertainment are giving hardcore Pokémon fans from around the world — who might not be receiving events in their home city or country — the opportunity to be the first to experience the tour!

    Didn’t consider this becoming an article, I probably should have thought about that before making it a thread -_-
     
    Regardless, this is an incredible idea and I’m looking forward to it!

    Whose attending this? Wondering whether it’d be worth to buy tickets or not…

  3. Scott says:

    help i want to buy tickets but the website wont work

  4. Eiganjo says:

    I know wer and myself got tickets in the upper balcony left, row LL and such I have seat 17, wer and friends have 7-13 or so and that row is like the entire first one thats nearly sold.

  5. CodeCass says:

    Pretty excited for this. Final Fantasy has a similar orchestra tour they do called “Distant Worlds” that I was fortunate enough to attend in Nashville this year. It was amazing. I fully trust a Pokémon one would be just as wonderful!

  6. Politoed Punch says:

    Aaaah yeah! I loves me some Pokémon theme.

    Would love to go, but not really planning on any Worlds run this year…hopefully this’ll turn into an annual thing, as it does sound really cool.

    You don’t have to go to Worlds to experience this. This is going to be an entire tour, DC is just where it’s starting. The only other date announced as of now is Philadelphia, but the website says more dates to come.

  9. Werford says:

    Confirming that I’ll be there. I missed out on going to the LoZ Symphony so I’m excited for this!

  10. I definitely plan to go if I can find someone to take me before tickets run out. It’s not often events happen so close!

  11. Architeuthis says:

    I loved the Zelda symphony, hopefully the tour will take them to Florida later since I won’t be able to go to DC this year.

    i’m with scott, cybertron, babbytron, babbyfeathers, firestorm, v4 and hibiki in the front row of the center balcony. always love these kinds of things, definitely worth going.

  13. Firestorm says:

    Going to recommend balcony for people wondering if Orchestra is worth it. These events will have a giant screen up front showing imagery from the franchise. If you’re in the balcony it would be around eye level whereas if you’re in the more expensive Orchestra area, you’ll be looking up the entire time. Mid Balcony is the best.

    This is going to be great! I just bought my tickets for the Philadelphia show. I love orchestral performances so mix it with Pokemon and it’s sure to be epic!

  18. RAV44 says:
