Video Games Live adds 30 shows to their world tour photo

I'm so pleased to hear that a series of game music concerts is blowing up. It's literally a worldwide success now, and I hope it continues. Tommy, Jack and the gang: we here at Destructoid wish you the best in the future. You guys are kicking ass. See you in Tokyo?

Here's a short list of some of the places VGL is headed for the rest of 2009:

  • Taiwan
  • China
  • Tokyo (during Tokyo Game Show)
  • All over Brazil
  • France
  • UK
  • America: GA, PA, NY, OR, AZ, MN

 “Our goal and dream of successfully showcasing the video game industry and video game music to the masses has really taken off.” said VGL co-creator Tommy Tallarico. “The support and interest from around the world has been absolutely amazing and we’re really looking forward to continuing this for many years to come.”

That's a pretty packed 2009. See the full schedule after the jump. Believe it or not, they already have about 70 shows lined up for 2010. If you're in any of the listed locales and would like to see the show, head here to buy tickets.

I'm assuming the March and April shows are 2010, otherwise I missed the stop here in Minnesota.

Why Cardiff?! Of all the places in the UK to host a VGL concert, they chose the capital of WALES?!

Goddamn.

Great news! I attended VGL twice in '06 (Columbus and Chicago) and can't recommend it enough. But be prepared to twitch uncontrollably in frustration if they are still doing the Space Invaders contest thingy on stage.

I'm guessing you meant for those last 3 dates to be 2010?

Anyway, FUCK YEAH MINNEAPOLIS. I'm so going.

OMFG PHILLY!

I would prefer something closer to Southern New Jersey, like Atlantic City, but I'll take what I can get.

Oh nice, the Portland venue actually has some reasonably cheap tickets. And it's right after my birthday too. Might be worth checking out. And yeah, you're missing the link where you should've put the link.

WOHOOO!

In an unrelated note, I already bought a ticket for me and my girl for the Warsaw, Poland concert! I did it about 2 days after the concert was announced and there were already only like 5 rows of chairs left :)

You know, Video Games Live should add music from the Touhou series to their library. Anyone who denies the fact that Touhou has some good music is probably the kind who denies that America needs to help those who aren't able to get Health Insurance.
