People who purchased tickets for certain dates have been getting emails informing them that the show has been cancelled, and asking them to contact the booking company for a refund.

Numerous threads have been posted on the r/PlayStation Reddit page, with players saying their tickets have been cancelled. One thread posted on Monday was from a user saying they had just received an email informing them that the concert in Poland was no longer going ahead.



The thread saw replies from other users stating that their concerts in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Italy, and Austria had all been cancelled too. Others have stated that their show hasn't been cancelled, but has instead been delayed, with their scheduled May 2025 performance being put back to 2026.

Playstation concert? LMAO

 

[Dirk Benedict]

As any true Sony fan the only live spectacle I'd go is a pay-to-kick Hulst in the royal jewels in a stage. I'd make him sign.

A swift kick to the eggs of the king.

 

[Joramun]

What an anti-consumer cuck move.

 

[nial]

Faux concern GAF gotta do faux concern.

They have, but not in their big shot games.

Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus, the original GOW trilogy, Bloodborne, these are top quality soundtracks, but not the face of the present Playstation.

Bloodborne is part of the lineup.

Those concerts are pointless. The beautiful sound track of Stellar blade was not even included. Probably this was under Hulst leadership this concerts, and Totoki is now starting to cancel those pointless concert. What I hope too see is more PS state of play.

How is that surprising? This entire forum thought that Shawn Layden and Hermen Hulst were heads of all SIE at some point.

^ I am always right.
FFS, yoga, Totoki isn't even the chairman anymore.

 

[nial]

I wonder how many people know that besides God of War, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon and Uncharted, Journey, Helldivers, Bloodborne and Astro Bot are part of the lineup as well?

If they do the PS3 orchestra tune up sound and then go straight into playing this live, I'm in:

 

[TintoConCasera]

i remember when game music was memorable stuff you would whistle around the house. now almost every big budget game is completely forgetable orchestral slop, where is the melody?

Agree. But also, check out Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 if you want an example of orchestral OST done right.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The clit

Cringe.
Also, if you're unironically elitist over fucking Video Games music, please consider killing yourself.

 

[pasterpl]

Probably not sold many tickets and they have made a call to cancel. Did they just realised that most gamers have agoraphobia /s

But seriously, let's not create new conspiracy theories around this. It looks like a business call more than anything.

[MiguelItUp]

I didn't even know this existed, lmao. But hey, more time and budget on games instead hopefully.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

You feeling OK pal? You seem to be crashing out over this. Taking it a bit to personal perhaps....and a bit too far.

That is basic level 4chan talk, lol.

it was just a generalization of the AAAA market , theres still alot of cool music around like astro bot

 

[Days like these...]

They shook

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

I'm just used to a bit more tounge-in-cheek or humour with my suicide wishes.

But I'm quite new to this community, so I'm not one to judge.

 

[tmlDan]

shame on anyone who bought tickets for this garbage in the first place

I didnt but i wanted to go, i love their music, you can go fuck yourself

 

[existensmaximum]

Sony games really used to have memorable music but now? Eh. Once in a blue moon sure, but nothing like 20 or even 10 years ago.

 

[ShadowNinja]

Sony has become allergic to conventions ever since they canceled PSX and skipped E3. Have they returned to Gamescom yet? Do they still attend PAX and TGS?

 

[FewRope]

Sony is about to go to shit man, jesus christ

 

[seb85]

I am guessing the sales were extremely low to the point where it's no longer worth it

 

[Loomy]

Some of you have never been to Video Games Live or Distant Worlds, and it shows

 

[DenchDeckard]

Ticket sales must have been abysmal.

People are not interested in these games, imo. Those 3 games are like 7 to 8.5 out of tens when you are honest with yourself. (of course opinions, from someone who plays loads of games a year).

 

[sono]

Never heard of a PlayStation concert until now.
Having said that, many games have awesome music

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Sony in shambles!

 

[Cyberpunkd]

This is when someone at Sony looked at Distant Worlds and they went with: "Hmmm, surely we have the music on that level as well".

You don't.

 

[RoadHazard]

I was going to this in Sweden, kinda shitty that it got cancelled. Video game concerts are fun.

 

[Eimran]

who t f still go to sony concert? what are they watching? aloy lapdance?

Abby

 

[PlayStaytion]

As an Exbot, I understand making 18hrs movies is really hard, they deserve huge credit for staying who they really are.

 

[lh032]

Abby

that lapdance would be other way around
