Video Games Live coming to KL



After touring the globe for over four years to sold-out audiences, the award-winning Video Games Live (VGL) show is scheduled to make its first ever local stop on April 17 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Billed as one of the greatest videogame-theme concerts to ever be produced, VGL promises to be a far-out experience which seamlessly blends the music, magic and energy of electronic gaming culture.

Created and produced by industry veterans and world famous videogame music composers, Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall,top orchestras and choirs around the world have performed the show against a backdrop of exclusive videogame footage.

The shows are usually accompanied by special effects complete with live action and interactive segments to create a unique entertainment experience, said the show’s local organiser ZI Production.

In previous shows, viewers have enjoyed interactive game demos, costume contests, game competitions and the very popular meet-and-greet with top game composers and designers.

In the interactive segments, audience members are invited on stage to play videogames while the orchestra plays music to match the game. Classic themes from games such as Frogger, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and the popular Guitar Hero have been featured before.

A spokesperson for ZI Production told In.Tech that the company will be looking to replicate the full experience of VGL for its local show and that it won’t be a “watered-down” version.

More details such as the performers, sideline events and ticket prices have yet to be confirmed at press time so be sure to watch this space for updates.
