Real-life Stardew Valley concert tour, Festival of Seasons, kicks off globally next year
It’s official – you’ll soon be able to experience the music of Stardew Valley in live orchestral form, as a real-life concert tour is set to kick off next year across the globe.
Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe (real name Eric Barone) announced the news yesterday (October 10) on Twitter. The tour itself is titled Festival of Seasons, and 14 different locations have been announced, with the majority in the United States, and others in the UK, Australia, Canada, Thailand and South Korea.
The music itself will be played by a small chamber orchestra, in what’s said to be an “intimate” experience. The concert’s website states: “Stardew Valley: Festival of Seasons is an intimate, immersive live concert featuring fresh arrangements of the most cherished songs from the game’s mesmerizing soundtrack.
“Curated by ConcernedApe, the concert program will take you on a musical journey through the four seasons of the valley, its unforgettable festivals, and its beloved villagers.”

As PC Gamer reports, Barone also noted on Twitter that it’s “possible” that more dates could be added, although he thinks these “would likely be part of a different, future tour”. He noted: “This is the first run and still kind of testing the waters.”
Stardew Valley is considered by many to be one of the best indie games of all time, as well as one of the best cozy Switch games.
