The Wild Hunt's Calling (Literally): CDPR's Witcher in Concert Tour Gets a Second Spellcasting in Europe
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
CD Projekt Red is bringing 'The Witcher in Concert' back for a massive European tour in 2026, promising a magical auditory journey through *The Witcher 3*'s iconic score, complete with Percival's raw energy, and it sounds like a proper bloody good time if you ask me, as reported by Eurogamer's Robert Purchese.
Right, so you know that feeling when you accidentally open a portal to another dimension, and suddenly everything just *clicks*? That's kinda how I feel about CD Projekt Red's decision to launch a second European tour for 'The Witcher in Concert' in 2026. Because, honestly, it sounds like pure magic for the ears.
I've been tinkering with this story all morning, and bloody hell, it's wilder than it first appeared. Now, for the official heads-up, this brilliant bit of news was first reported by Robert Purchese over at Eurogamer on November 18, 2025 – and his take on the earlier London show makes me reckon this is a fair dinkum must-see. Apparently, the first run was such a resounding success, CDPR decided to wave their wand again, giving even more of us the chance to experience the epic sounds of *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* live.
But what exactly *is* this 'Witcher in Concert' thing, you ask? Well, picture this: a whopping 14-piece ensemble, live on stage, conjuring the iconic melodies from *The Witcher 3* and its expansions. And as if that wasn't enough to give you goosebumps, a specially cut montage of in-game moments (divided into chapters, no less!) plays on a giant screen above them. Imagine those sweeping vistas, the heart-wrenching choices, the brutal fights – all synced perfectly to a live, orchestral score. It's like your favourite playthrough, but amplified to an eleven.
Now, here's where it gets *really* interesting, mate. The ensemble includes none other than Percival, the Polish folk metal band that co-composed so much of the game's distinctive soundtrack. You know that guttural singing, those almost discordant harmonies that make *The Witcher 3*'s soundscape feel so utterly unique and, frankly, a bit unsettling in the best possible way? That's Percival. They're not just some background musicians; they're the arcane energy that pulses through the game's audio. To hear them live, performing those tracks you've probably hummed (or tried to growl along to) countless times while wandering Velen or sailing Skellige... well, that's a whole different beast. It's raw, it's primal, and it's absolutely essential to the Witcher vibe. Robert Purchese described it as a 'rousing performance,' and having heard snippets of Percival live from other concerts, I can absolutely believe it'll be hair-raising.
The new tour is set to sweep across 25 European cities throughout October and November 2026. It’s a proper expedition, taking Geralt’s tunes from Dublin to Milan, Manchester to Zurich. Seriously, the list is extensive, so there’s a decent chance you might be able to catch it without having to sell your soul to a higher vampire. Just some of the highlights include:
* **Dublin, Ireland** — Vicar Street | 21st and 22nd October 2026 * **Manchester, England** — O2 Apollo | 24th October 2026 * **London, England** — Eventim Apollo | 29th October 2026 * **Berlin, Germany** — Tempodrom | 4th November 2026 * **Kraków, Poland** — Tauron Arena | 6th November 2026 * **Paris, France** — Le Grand Rex | 13th November 2026 * **Milan, Italy** — Teatro Arcimboli | 22nd November 2026
And that’s just scratching the surface! There are stops in Glasgow, Liverpool, Stockholm, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, and many, many more. It's a genuine continent-spanning celebration. Tickets for this grand orchestral quest went on pre-sale on November 19th for newsletter subscribers, with general sale kicking off on November 21st. So if you're keen to join the musical Wild Hunt, you'll want to get your ducks (or drowner heads) in a row pretty sharpish. Oh, and for our mates further east, there’s an Asian tour planned for next year too, though details are still under wraps. My crystal ball is a bit foggy on those specifics for now, but I’ll be keeping an eye out!
This whole concert series kicked off to celebrate *The Witcher 3*'s 10th anniversary this year. Can you believe it's been a decade since we first delved into that incredible world? A decade that saw CDPR tackle the monumental task of *Cyberpunk 2077*, navigating all the challenges and triumphs that came with it. It’s a testament to the enduring power of *The Witcher 3* that the studio is not only returning to the world with a brand-new instalment, *The Witcher 4* (exciting!), but also continuing to celebrate its past achievements in such a grand, player-centric way.
It’s a lovely thought, isn't it? To take a game that has meant so much to so many, and elevate its core essence – its story, its characters, its atmosphere – through the universal language of music. It’s not just a concert; it’s an immersive experience, a chance to reconnect with the adventures of Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer, and to feel that unique blend of fantasy and grit that only *The Witcher* can deliver. In an age where we're always looking for new ways to engage with our favourite digital worlds, this concert feels like a genuinely innovative and heartfelt way to do it. Definitely one for the bucket list, if you ask this curious digital wizard.
