The snappily titled The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses - Master Quest has proven to be a notable success for Nintendo, with the touring ensemble and officially approved music being a hit worldwide. It's now been completing annual tours for a few years, losing little momentum in the process.
Such is its popularity that some extra dates have been added to the UK, including an extra night in London and some October dates in new cities. The happy news was tweeted by Nintendo UK.
In fact, there are a lot of shows this year, with Wembley Arena coming up on 23rd April and with tickets still available. The North American leg will dominate the summer months before it returns to Europe later in the year.
You can see the full line-up and buy tickets at the official website; are you planning to go along this year?

I've got two tickets to the Manchester show. I can't freaking wait. All I need to do now is find a hot date to invite ;p
I'm off there Saturday! Same time as the FA Cup Semi Final... Traffic will be fun!
They're actually coming to Glasgow?! I will need to get tickets!!
Yet even more dates for the UK but Ireland is completely ignored. They're playing in about every other European country.
I'd love to go, but I'm not going by myself and I don't know anyone who'll want to come along.
It's feeling a bit too regular for me having been to most of the previous London ones, so I'm passing on this London.
What I would love more however is if the Pokemon Concert returned to London again. :3
I'm going on Saturday and can't wait.
I'm there on Saturday for my birthday
I too will be there on Saturday!

I know, finally! I've already got my tickets booked, although I am outright offended that the Links Awakening Suite is no longer part of the performance. Wonder how busy the Glasgow event will be? I always figured Nintendo fans were as good as extinct in Scotland...
So glad they came to Kansas City, that was quite a show!
I'm hoping to get tickets to the Chicago show in November pretty soon. A friend went to the Indie showing last year and said it's definitely worth going!
I ripped the CD that came with Skyward Sword to my iPhone, I still like listening to it occasional.
extra date in Wembley? I'm sure this date was announced ages ago
Going to see the Saturday performance in London, super excited to watch it
Ok ok, I'll be honest. I did go to see the symphony in London last year and was really EXTREMELY looking forward to it. However my experience was really disappointing. I love Zelda music and one would expect, going to see Zelda Orchestra would be on the same level as seeing any other orchestra. But the fans ruin it. I realized that most Zelda fans can't behave during the performance - everyone was clapping like crazy, shouting, whistling , talking and taking pictures. Not to mention, the guy sitting next to me was eating a freaking McDonalds in the middle of a performance! If you want to be loud go see a metal or rock gig and dance pogo in front of a stage.
But it was not fully fans fault - Wembley Arena was selling beer, ice-cream and even popcorn. For f* sake, orchestra is not your average cinema. If you go to see a live performance at least learn how to behave.
Don't get me wrong - music was AMAZING. The sound, the arrangements, the orchestra and all the instruments, the vocal and the choir - out of this planet. But it's the people at the audience who ruined the whole experience. I couldn't enjoy a single song cause every 10 sec someone started clapping >_<
slightly drunk here, but truth will stay the truth, most Zelda fans cannot behave, I hope they never go to opera, ballet or theatre performances
@mateq I recently went to a concert showcasing music from video games, and it was fine. Such is Australia.
@HappyMaskedGuy I've not booked my tickets yet! Need to try and convince a couple of my friends to go with me, haha. As long as the Majora's Mask section is still part of it i'll be all good. Hopefully it'll be quite busy! They need to realise that the UK isn't just London! Haha, yeah me too, maybe we should form a support group or something XD
@BMORRI Nice! Here is the UK, London, I couldn't enjoy a single song due to audience clapping and shouting every 10 sec. I suppose it differs depending on a region, but I was extremely disappointed with the concert. Music was beautiful, but the people were not. If one day I visit Australia I'll make sure to check out the orchestra!
