The Infernal Symphony – music from the Diablo franchise
In partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, the Game Music Festival proudly presents the official concert commemorating 30 years of Diablo. On June 6, 2026, the Royal Festival Hall at London’s Southbank Centre will transform into a stage for the Eternal Conflict, where the echoes of the Burning Hells and the High Heavens resound once more. Three decades ago, a genre-defining action‑RPG emerged from the darkness and forever reshaped the landscape of gaming. Now, across thirty years, five titles, and countless adventures, we invite you to embark on a musical pilgrimage through the world of Sanctuary.
Guided by the artistry of maestro Marek Wroniszewski, the renowned London Mozart Players orchestra, and the majestic Hertfordshire Chorus, the evening will summon the iconic musical soul of the Diablo series. These legendary themes will be weaved into a monumental new opus arranged by Ignacy Wojciechowski. Special guests Lead Composer Ted Reedy and Music Director Derek Duke will join the celebration, making this opening night of GMF 2026 one to remember.
