PlayStation: The Concert, the much-anticipated music extravaganza celebrating the gaming giant’s 30th anniversary, is facing a wave of cancellations across Europe in 2026. Fans were gearing up to hear iconic tunes from PlayStation titles like God of War, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more, but it seems the party might be over before it even starts.
Several European venues have either cancelled the show or quietly removed it from their websites, leaving fans in the dark. This follows a string of cancellations in the US earlier this year, with concerts in cities like Chicago, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia falling through.
The 2026 European tour was initially supposed to take place this year, but it seems the pandemic had other plans. Now, even the rescheduled dates are looking shaky. Shows in Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland have either been cancelled or vanished from venue websites without a trace. The Laszlo Papp Arena in Budapest seems to be the lone holdout, but even there, ticket sales appear to be sluggish.
Munich’s Olympiapark venue broke the news to fans, saying, “Due to unexpected reasons beyond our control, we regret to inform you that PlayStation: The Concert… will not take place. Refunds are available at the original point of purchase.”
Sony is staying tight-lipped about the reasons behind the cancellations, but industry insiders are speculating that low ticket sales could be the culprit. After all, not everyone might be ready to shell out for a concert when they can just fire up their PS5 at home.
Despite the setbacks, the show is still on in some places. Fans in Los Angeles and Toronto can still look forward to the concert in early 2026, for now.
We’ve reached out to Sony for an official comment, but they’re keeping as quiet as a stealthy thief in a Horizon game. We’ll keep you updated if we hear anything.
