Wake up, get up, and get out there, for the Persona 5 Big Band Concert Asia Tour is bringing an additional show to Singapore. The new performance has been scheduled for 24 June, a day after its initial run, which is now sold out.
Held at Esplanade Concert Hall, it will be led by two-time Grammy and two-time Tony Award winner, Maestro Charlie Rosen, who handles the music arrangements, direction, and conducting. Lyn, the original vocalist behind hit Persona 5 songs like “Last Surprise” and “Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There”, is also set to appear as a guest singer, with “approximately 30 elite musicians from the US and Japan” making up the live band.
The Persona 5 Big Band Concert Asia Tour will run for 120 minutes, inclusive of a 20-minute intermission, and includes dates for Bangkok, Thailand (16 June) and Taipei, Taiwan (26 June). Tickets for its second show in Singapore are now available on SISTIC, priced from S$78 to S$208.
Composed by Shoji Meguro, the game’s original score features a wide range of genres, spanning jazz, funk, and soul. The 2016 title has sold over 10.45 million copies as of last March, making it the best-selling entry in the larger Megami Tensei franchise to date.
Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth’s theme on her Spotify playlist can get. A fan of movies, games, and Japanese culture, Si Jia’s greatest weakness is the Steam Summer Sale. Or any Steam sale, really.
