The Developer's Concert returns for its 4th edition at the GDC Festival of Gaming 2027!

Kick off the festival in style with this unique opening night celebration at the Main Stage on Monday evening of GDC week, for an awe-inspiring night of music led by the Grammy and BAFTA winning composer Austin Wintory. Known for his groundbreaking scores for Journey, Abzû, The Banner Saga, Sword of the Sea, Stray Gods, and many more, Austin has redefined the role of music in games, earning global acclaim for his innovative and emotionally resonant compositions.

Past editions have featured music from iconic games past and present, honored industry legends, and showcased original medleys of the most influential game scores. This year, the live orchestra returns with a new set of surprise special guests to bring even more unforgettable moments to life.

Don't miss this celebration of the artistry and legacy of video games as we open GDC week in spectacular fashion. Monday, March 1 at 6:30-8:00pm.

Doors open at 6pm!

We recommend getting there early to secure seats for you and your GDC crew. Your buddies will thank you later!
