Death Stranding Video Game Concert World Tour
Empire Entertainment’s group company SOHO Live partnered with Kojima Productions to bring Strands of Harmony to the stage, reimagining Hideo Kojima’s visionary world of Death Stranding, originally released by Sony Interactive Entertainment, as a live music experience.
Debuting at the Sydney Opera House, the production unites a full orchestra with vocalists performing Ludvig Forssell’s original score and selections from the most memorable music of the series by Woodkid and Low Roar. Synchronized visuals from the game transform the performance into an immersive journey that brings the emotional landscape of Death Stranding to life on stage.
SOHO Live led the creative development of the production, shaping every musical, visual, and technical component in close collaboration with Kojima Productions. The experience resonated deeply with fans, offering a shared space to reconnect with the story, the music, and one another.
Launched with a premiere at the Sydney Opera House, Strands of Harmony is now touring globally, with performances scheduled in over 20 cities across four continents. With strong demand and several cities already sold out, the tour continues to add new dates. For schedule and ticket availability, visit deathstrandingconcert.com.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
