If you’ve spent dozens (or maybe hundreds) of hours growing digital sunflowers and parsnips, fighting monsters in the caves, and courting NPCs in the indie video game Stardew Valley, you’ll want to spend several more hours at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this fall, when a 35-piece orchestra plays arrangements from the game at the legendary venue.
“Dance of the Moonlight Jellies,” anyone?
The Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons tour comes to Colorado for a one-night-only concert on October 25; tickets go on sale March 4.
The show has been personally curated by the game’s creator and composer, Eric Barone (or ConcernedApe, as real gamers know him), and the tour celebrates the tenth anniversary of Stardew Valley. Barone originally released the game for Windows in February 2016; now it’s available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and more.
Stardew Valley is a farming simulation that allows players to grow crops, raise animals, develop relationships (and drama) with the townsfolk, explore the map and collect items. At the show, fans of the game can relive their journey from Pelican Town to the Summit as in-game footage, special visuals and original content bring the Valley to life on stage. In addition to a live orchestra playing songs from the game, there will be interactive photo zones, an art gallery of fan and archival artwork, playable Journey of the Prairie King and Junimo Kart arcade machines, and special giveaways featuring exclusive and signed merchandise.
The 2025-26 world tour of this concert spanned over 130 performances across more than twenty countries; now it’s returning with new arrangements and remastered favorites.
“In honor of this event, I’m very happy to bring the Symphony of Seasons to one of the greatest outdoor venuesin the world, with even more arrangements,” Barone says. “And this time, we have some special activities planned before the show, so I think it will be a fun and interesting experience.”
Ticket presale starts at 10 a.m. Monday, March 2, for Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons newsletter subscribers; general ticket sales start at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 4.
This is just the latest show announced for the 2026 season at Red Rocks, a lineup that includes Paul Simon, Santana and Ice Cube.
