For Texans, Halo composer Mike Salvatori will make a "special guest appearance" at the Ft. Worth show on July 14. A few days later, The Houston Symphony will perform the show in its namesake city for two shows on July 18, in collaboration with MusiCON 09. The special afternoon show is entitled "Blizzard Live!" and will showcase songs from the Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo games. Five Blizzard composers will attend and participate in a Q&A panel.
There will also be a performance at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 23 at the outdoor Embarcadero Marina Park, which will include synchronized fireworks. Tickets are available at the Video Games Live site. Check out the full list of July tour stops after the break.

It's the Filene Center, not the Feline center. ;)
CH3BURASHKA @ Jul 4th 2009 12:26AM
But we can always hope it's the Feline Center.

I saw VGL last year in SF. I recommend to anyone who can attend do so. It's an awesome experience.

The VGL concert is AMAZING! There is an energy in the hall that is contageous! This year's concert in Houston begins at 2 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. It includes two concerts, costume contests, free video games on 3 levels of the hall, and video game contests, including a Blizzard contest and Guitar Hero. At one point people get to go on stage and play live video while the Symphony performs. I work for the Houston Symphony in group sales and have enjoyed each and every concert. I hope this is acceptable to post - If you are interested in purchasing tickets, contact me at gayle.mcmaster@houstonsymphony.
