Nintendo has opened the window for European fans: tickets for the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert go on sale Wednesday, September 30 at 12pm BST. Six shows across four cities are up for grabs, and The Legend of Zelda faithful in the UK and Sweden will want to move fast.
The European dates and where to find them
Here's the full list of shows hitting European stages:
Two nights at the Royal Albert Hall is a serious statement. That venue holds around 5,272 people per show, so demand will almost certainly outpace supply quickly once sales open Wednesday morning.
Nintendo describes the concert programme as covering "a variety of nostalgic tunes and modern melodies" from across the series. Expect everything from the original Overworld theme through to tracks from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The official ticket and info hub is at zelda.gameconcerts.com.
France, Germany, Italy, and Spain are getting their own dates
Fans in mainland Europe outside Sweden won't need to book flights to London. Nintendo UK confirmed via its official X account that shows in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain are coming, with venues and specific dates still to be announced. No timeline was given beyond "in the future," so those markets are in a holding pattern for now.
How this fits into a much bigger world tour
The European leg is just one piece of a genuinely global rollout. The tour kicks off in Japan on January 23, 2027, with performances at the Tokyo Garden Theater, Fukuoka Civic Hall, Sapporo Cultural Arts Theater, ROHM Theatre in Kyoto, and K-Arena Yokohama.
North America follows from February 22, hitting Symphony Center in Chicago, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Jones Hall for the Performing Arts in Houston, the Filene Center at Wolf Trap in Vienna (Virginia), and Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.
Australia rounds out the tour with four nights at Hamer Hall in Melbourne and three performances at the Sydney Opera House.
The scale here is notable. This isn't a single prestige event tied to one anniversary announcement. Nintendo is running three separate continental tours across four continents, which signals just how seriously the company is treating the franchise's 40th milestone. The series has been marking its anniversary with a wave of activity, including a Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 console, a new Lego set featuring Link on Epona, and the recently revealed Ocarina of Time remake.
For anyone wanting to brush up on the series before attending, the Legend of Zelda guide collection covers the series across its major entries. Tickets open Wednesday at noon BST, so set a reminder and check zelda.gameconcerts.com when the clock hits. The London dates especially are likely to sell through quickly given the venue size and the fanbase in the UK.
