— Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY (@ffdistantworlds) October 1, 2026

The Eternal programme will feature a selection of music spanning the Final Fantasy series, performed by a full orchestra alongside a chorus. The performances will also be accompanied by large-screen game footage created by Square Enix, bringing the series’ worlds and music together in a multimedia concert experience.

Maestro Arnie Roth is returning to lead the concerts, having previously conducted Distant Worlds performances for years. Square Enix has confirmed that the music that will be featured in the concerts will come from composers like Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Yoko Shimomura and Masayoshi Soken.

Nobuo Uematsu is also confirmed to attend select Distant Worlds: Eternal performances, including the New York concerts at Carnegie Hall on June 25 and 26, 2027. Select shows will feature additional special guests, although those have yet to be revealed.

Tickets for the Japanese performances will begin with a Square Enix e-STORE lottery presale on November 16, while international ticketing details will vary by location.
