Video Games Live Coming To Canada Later This Year

Much loved video game concert Video Games Live has announced their Canadian tour dates for later this year. Produced by industry veteran Tommy Tallarico (you might remember him from his days on Reviews on the Run and Electric Playground) the concert introduces the game industry to music lovers and to a younger generation. Performances are ususally held in front of hundreds to even thousands of people all over the world and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

And starting October 2012, Video Games Live will return to Canada for another tour that will feature music from Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Warcraft, Diablo, Pokemon, Earthworm Jim, Mass Effect, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. (Imagine this: Skyrim theme in full orchestra mode, live. Video game music will never be the same after that.)

Check out the full Canadian Video Games Live tour dates after the break.
