CD Projekt Red organising a second European tour for The Witcher in Concert in 2026, and it's well worth going if you can
Wind section is howling.
The touring Witcher in Concert musical performance was a resounding enough success that CD Projekt Red has announced a second tour for Europe next year.
For what it's worth, I watched The Witcher in Concert in London earlier this month and was very impressed. A 14-piece ensemble played through the music of The Witcher 3 (plus expansions) all while a specially cut montage of game moments - divided into chapters - played on a projected screen above.
More excitingly, perhaps, the ensemble included Polish folk metal band Percival, which co-composed the music in the game. It's their almost guttural singing and discordant-sounding harmonies that provide The Witcher 3 with such a distinctive sound. It's a rousing performance.
The new tour spans October and November 2026, and stretches across 25 European cities.

The Witcher 3 turned 10 years old this year - a milestone anniversary the Witcher in Concert tour was created to celebrate - and a lot has happened in that time. Cyberpunk 2077 was built and released, which brought all kinds of challenges to be overcome. A decade later, the studio is returning to The Witcher world with brand new instalment The Witcher 4. And I thought this anniversary would be a good time to look back on The Witcher 3 with the studio, at what it got wrong, and what it got right.
