Neon Genesis Evangelion wind orchestra concert tour coming to North America
After years of wowing audiences in Japan, the Evangelion Wind Symphony will be coming to North America for the first time ever this summer.
Revealed today, the event will feature a wind orchestra performing music from iconic anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Vocalist Yoko Takahashi will join the trek to perform classic tunes such as "A Cruel Angel's Thesis.” The event was co-developed by Sony Music, Studio Khara, Kashamara Productions, and 54 Entertainment.
For its North American debut, the tour will make its way to Toronto, Irving, and Los Angeles. Tour dates can be seen below. Presale tickets are live right now for followers of Kashamara Productions on social media. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (May 2) at 10 a.m. local time. The first 1,000 ticket buyers at each city will earn a special Evangelion badge at the concert, which will unlock a secret surprise announced closer to the event.
