Square Enix has given fans another reason to revisit the world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the middle entry to a planned trilogy that revisits the original Final Fantasy VII. The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Orchestra World Tour will commence later this year, with tickets going on sale as early as this month.
According to the event webpage, the musical extravaganza is set for 41 shows across U.S., the U.K., Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Los Angeles, California is kicking things off on 10 August, a month before it arrives in Singapore on 13 September. Ticket sales open tomorrow, 12 March, at 10am SGT on SISTIC, with prices ranging from S$68 to S$268.
As with last year’s Distant Worlds concert, the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Orchestra World Tour will be held at The Star Theatre. Runtime is expected to be around two hours and 20 minutes, inclusive of a 20-minute interval.
“Experience all new symphonic arrangements of the music of Final Fantasy VII Rebrth including beloved scores by Nobuo Uematsu and exciting new contributions from Mitsuto Suzuki, Masashi Hamauzu, and many other esteemed composers and arrangers, performed by an orchestra and chorus of over 100 musicians led by renowned conductors Arnie Roth and Eric Roth,” reads the official announcement post on X/Twitter.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Orchestra World Tour is the natural follow-up to the FFVII Remake Orchestra World Tour, which graced Singapore in 2020. Then, it was announced before the game’s launch, serving as a pre-celebration of all sorts. This time, however, it’s the other way round, coming hot on the heels of the highly-anticipated sequel, which hit PS5 on 29 February after a four-year wait.
