Metal Gear Solid Concert Is Coming to the UK — Royal Albert Hall Hosts Its First MGS Show This November

It’s finally happening: Metal Gear in Concert is making its UK debut on 1st November 2025 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. If you've ever wanted to hear Snake Eater live with a full orchestra or feel chills during Sins of the Father, this is the show. After years of performances in Tokyo, Paris, and New York, the concert series is finally landing on British soil — and it’s bringing some beloved voices with it.

Stefanie Joosten (Quiet from MGS5) and Donna Burke (the voice of the iDroid and singer of multiple iconic MGS themes) will appear live, backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Expect everything from pulse-pounding combat tracks like Encounter to the haunting The Best is Yet to Come. The show promises a full tour through Metal Gear’s emotional highs, stealthy lows, and unforgettable boss fights — all through its music.

Kojima’s Soundtracks

If you’ve played a Hideo Kojima game, you already know: the soundtrack isn't just a vibe — it's the moment. We also talked more about Kojima's style in the text dedicated to the skip boss battle feature in Death Stranding 2 to bring the experience as close to cinematics as possible. From Metal Gear Solid’s cinematic strings to Death Stranding's eerie Low Roar ballads, Kojima has always treated music like an essential character in his stories. Whether it’s Snake Eater’s full-blown Bond theme or the quiet heartbreak of Quiet’s Theme, these tracks elevate gameplay into something poetic.

Kojima’s approach has always been to blend high-concept narrative with high-impact sound. He doesn't just license music — he curates it. Heavens Divide, Sins of the Father, and Don't Be So Serious — all of these became emotional touchstones for players, often hitting harder than cutscenes. This concert is more than a nostalgia trip; it’s a celebration of how music shaped the entire Metal Gear mythos.

What to Expect at the Concert

If past Metal Gear in Concert events are anything to go by, the Royal Albert Hall show will be a full symphonic experience: live orchestra, synchronized in-game footage, and crowd-favorite vocal performances. Burke’s Sins of the Father is always a showstopper, but hearing Snake Eater in that echoing venue is going to be legendary.

Plus, the event lands at an interesting time. Kojima’s next project, the spy-action title Physint, is being positioned as a spiritual successor to Metal Gear — and with Death Stranding 2 also on the horizon, Kojima fans are eating well. This concert might be the perfect palate cleanser before we dive into whatever he’s cooking up next.

Ticket Info

Two performances are scheduled for November 1st — a matinee at 2:30 pm and an evening show at 7:30 pm. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, April 17th, at 10 am via the Royal Albert Hall website. If you're a longtime fan or just want to experience the full emotional weight of Kojima’s musical legacy in surround sound, set your alarms.

Metal Gear in Concert finally comes to the UK on November 1st, 202,5, at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring live performances by Stefanie Joosten and Donna Burke. Expect an orchestral trip through Kojima’s unforgettable soundtrack legacy.
