From Hans Zimmer to Bridgerton , global audiences have been coming out in droves to listen to some of Hollywood and television’s best scores. “Whether it’s the music of major film composers like Ennio Morricone or TV shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender , audiences are drawn to the idea of experiencing the music they love in a completely new, immersive setting,” Douwes agrees. “ Playstation: The Concert fits perfectly into that trend, but the show also brings something a little different. Video games have some of the most emotional and powerful storytelling happening today, and their soundtracks are every bit as complex and moving as film or TV scores – sometimes even more so because of the time players spend in these truly stunning worlds.” It’s evident that, by bringing the music of the games featured in Playstation: The Concert to a live stage, fans are given the same type of connection as film or TV-themed concerts, but in a way that’s rooted in their own personal adventures and memories of these iconic games. “It’s part of a bigger shift,” concludes Douwes, “where audiences are no longer passive; they want to be immersed, to feel and celebrate the music that has shaped their experiences – whether on the screen or behind a controller.”
