Nintendo has set the European ticket window for The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert, with UK and Sweden dates first and France, Germany, Italy and Spain still to come.

Europe gets its first ticket window, but not the full map yet
Zelda concert tickets for the first announced European dates of The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert go on sale on Wednesday, September 30, at 12pm BST, according to Nintendo’s announcement reported by VGC and Nintendo Life. Nintendo Life lists the equivalent time as 1pm CET for mainland Europe.
That first sales wave covers London, Stockholm, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The tension for European fans is immediate: this is a real ticket window for specific venues, but it is not the complete European rollout. Nintendo UK has said concerts in France, Germany, Italy and Spain will be announced in the future, while the official Zelda concert site says additional concerts in those countries are currently being planned, with details and additional cities to be announced in the near future.
For readers searching for Legend of Zelda concert Europe details, that distinction matters. The September 30 sale is for the listed UK and Sweden performances. Nintendo has not yet provided venues, dates, ticket timing or pricing for the France, Germany, Italy and Spain shows in the source material.
The European dates currently going on sale
Nintendo’s announced European on-sale slate begins at Royal Albert Hall in London, where The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert is scheduled for April 3 and April 4, 2027. The official concert site lists the London Symphony Orchestra for those two London performances, with an evening show at 7:30pm on April 3 and a 1:30pm performance on April 4.
The tour then moves to Stockholm for June 18 and June 19, 2027, at Konserthuset Stockholm. The official site lists the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for both Stockholm concerts, each scheduled for 7pm.
The currently announced UK autumn dates are September 17, 2027, at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall and September 18, 2027, at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, according to Nintendo’s European date list reported by VGC and Nintendo Life. Those reports identify both Scottish venues as part of the September 30 ticket window.
Nintendo’s official concert site is the practical hub for buyers, with links to venue information and ticket pages. VGC also points readers to the official Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert site for ticket links and further information.
France, Germany, Italy and Spain are planned, not dated
Nintendo’s message to fans outside the first UK and Sweden stops is cautious but meaningful. The official concert site says additional concerts in France, Germany, Italy and Spain are currently being planned. Nintendo UK’s public post, quoted by VGC, says concerts in those four countries will be announced in the future.
That wording gives fans in those regions a reason to pause before buying travel-heavy tickets for London, Stockholm, Edinburgh or Glasgow. It does not, however, confirm which cities will be chosen, how many performances each country will receive, which orchestras or venues will be attached, or when tickets will go on sale.
The useful reading is this: the Zelda 40th anniversary concert has a confirmed European ticket drop on September 30 for four cities, and a second European layer is officially signposted but still undated. Anyone in France, Germany, Italy or Spain who can only attend locally may want to wait for Nintendo’s next venue reveal rather than treating the first sale as the last chance.
The world tour starts before Europe reaches the stage
The European leg begins in London on April 3, 2027, according to the official concert site. The same site frames the international tour as beginning in North America on February 22 in Chicago, then Europe on April 3 in London, and Australia on May 13 in Melbourne.
There is a broader tour context around that wording. VGC reports that the overall tour starts in Tokyo on January 23 before splitting into North America, Europe and Australia. Nintendo Life’s concert guide also lists Japanese dates beginning with Tokyo Garden Theatre on January 23, followed by Fukuoka, Hokkaido, Kyoto and Kanagawa dates.
Those two descriptions are not necessarily in conflict. The official English concert page in the provided source text describes the international rollout by region, while VGC and Nintendo Life include the Japanese opening stretch. For fans tracking the full Nintendo concert tour, the clean takeaway is that Japan is reported to begin in January 2027, North America begins in February, Europe begins in April, and Australia begins in May.
North America and Australia show the scale, but sales remain uneven
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert is being positioned as a global production, but ticket timing is not synchronized across every region. Nintendo’s official site says ticket sales are scheduled to begin from September 30, 2026, with exact sale dates varying by venue.
That venue-by-venue language is important. Nintendo Life notes that North American and Australian shows were still listed with TBA ticket sale timing on the official site at the time of its report, even as European ticket sales for London, Stockholm, Edinburgh and Glasgow were dated. The official site’s own listings in the provided material also show several non-European performances with on-sale timing still marked as TBA.
The known North American route includes Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Vienna in Virginia and San Francisco in VGC’s report, while Nintendo Life’s guide adds Dallas and New York City dates. The official site excerpt also lists Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Seattle, Houston, Vienna and Los Angeles entries among its North American stops, with some entries carrying venue or info links and others still carrying TBA sale details.
Australia’s announced run includes Melbourne at Hamer Hall and Sydney at the Sydney Opera House, according to VGC and the official concert site. The official listing names the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for four Melbourne performances and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for three Sydney performances. As with other regions, the sale picture depends on the venue listing rather than a single global button.
What Nintendo has confirmed about the show itself
Nintendo’s official concert site describes The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert as a 2027 world tour featuring “a variety of nostalgic tunes and modern melodies” from The Legend of Zelda series. Nintendo Life similarly reports that the concert will draw music from across the series, using the official phrasing about nostalgic tunes and modern melodies.
The sources do not provide a full setlist, runtime, ticket price range or merchandise details. They also do not specify whether every regional performance will share the same program, staging or guest appearances. Until Nintendo or the venues publish those details, the only confirmed promise is the broad musical scope across the series and the currently listed orchestras and venues.
For a series where music often functions like a compass, signaling discovery, danger and release before the player ever sees the next set-piece, the concert’s draw is obvious. But the buying decision this week is practical rather than romantic. If London, Stockholm, Edinburgh or Glasgow works for you, the first European window opens September 30 at 12pm BST. If France, Germany, Italy or Spain is the better route, Nintendo has said those countries are coming, but the date, city and ticket clock are still off-screen.
