Street Fighter Concert is the Franchise’s First Music Event

Capcom announced a new first for the Street Fighter series: Its first celebratory music event. In commemoration of the franchise’s 35th anniversary, the company is organizing the “Street Fighter 35th Anniversary Live.” The Street Fighter concert is billed as the “first time fans can feel the series’ live music in 35 years.” It’ll also be available for online viewing.

The 35th Anniversary Street Fighter concert will take place on January 29, 2023, at Line Cube Shibuya concert hall in Japan. It’ll feature performances from a 35th Anniversary official band, Captune, the official Capcom band, and The Lethal Weapons, a synthpop duo creating music inspired by the ’80s and ’90s. Street Fighter II composer Yoko Shimomura will also attend as a special talk guest.
