Experience the NieR Universe Live

Under the baton of the esteemed conductor Eric Roth, a full orchestra and chorus will bring the iconic NieR score to life with breathtaking power and emotion. This is more than just a concert; it is a meticulously crafted event designed to envelop you in the NieR saga.
A highlight of the tour is the presence of original NieR vocalists J'Nique Nicole and Emi Evans, whose distinctive voices have become synonymous with the series' most moving tracks. Their live performances are set to evoke the same raw emotion and haunting beauty that fans have come to adore from the game's soundtrack. Complementing the auditory feast, stunning visuals will be projected onto a giant screen, creating a dynamic backdrop that enhances every note and narrative beat.
A New Story Unfolds
Adding another layer of depth, the concert tour will feature a brand new narrated story, inviting concertgoers into an expanded musical world of the NieR series.
