‘Stardew Valley’ announces second world concert tour
‘Symphony Of Seasons’ kicks off in next year and will run until 2026
by Ali Shutler · NMEStardew Valley has confirmed details of a second global concert tour set to take place through 2025 and beyond.
‘Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons’ follows on from this year’s ‘Festival Of Seasons’ tour, which celebrated the four seasons of music that can be heard in Stardew Valley throughout the year. After the “overwhelming response” to that tour, a brand new show will hit the road next year. Kicking off in August 2025, the tour will visit 18 different countries in seven months.
Featuring a 35-piece orchestra performing all-new arrangements of music from within the game, ‘Symphony Of Seasons’ will also have a screen above the stage featuring gameplay from Stardew Valley as well as “original content created exclusively for the concert”. According to the announcement, the show will feature some of Stardew Valley’s most popular songs and fans are encouraged to come dressed in their best game-inspired outfits.
“Concert-goers can look forward to hearing the game’s most cherished songs as they watch their farm grow throughout the seasons and explore some of the valley’s most memorable locations, from Pelican Town to the Skull Cavern, Ginger Island to Calico Desert, the Submarine to the Wizard’s Tower and much more.”
Tickets for the shows will be released November 29 and more details about the sale can be found here.
Speaking about the tour, creator Eric Barone said: “It was a special experience to hear the music of Stardew Valley performed live in concert for the first tour, surrounded by fans. But now, with the upcoming ‘Symphony Of Seasons’, we’ll hear the music in a bigger and grander way, with a larger orchestra and additional songs from the game. I’m really looking forward to it!”

Speaking to NME last year, Barone admitted he thought Stardew Valley had an “underappreciated” soundtrack. “I always say to myself, ‘the fact the game became so popular means people will finally listen to my music’.”
