The full Hades orchestral concert is now free to watch online.

Ballads of the Underworld, a concert built around music from the Hades games, is available to watch in its entirety, according to Eurogamer. It is free. The online release is a 4K recording, a very sharp high-resolution video, of the live performance.

The show was performed on 27 June 2026 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. It was a one-time-only event staged at The Game Music Festival, which presents video game music in concert halls. The evening was organised by The Game Music Foundation and drew on music from both Hades and Hades II, as listed by Southbank Centre.

For anyone new to the series, Hades and Hades II are action games from Supergiant Games set in Greek myth. Players fight their way out of the Underworld, dying and trying again, with songs and dialogue woven into each attempt.

The London concert recreated that music with a live orchestra, the London Mozart Players. It was conducted by Austin Wintory, co-composer on the series. Music is credited to Darren Korb and Austin Wintory, with orchestral arrangements by Brian LaGuardia, Dallas Crane and Wintory.

The voices were live too. Judy Alice Lee performed as Melinoë, the princess of the Underworld who leads Hades II. Erin Yvette performed as Scylla, a singing Siren boss from the sequel. Colin Ryan performed as Apollo, the god of music. Korb, Supergiant’s long-time composer, and vocalist Ashley Barrett also performed live.

Supergiant has pointed fans to the video in an official blog post titled ‘Hades II: Noclip Doc, Concert Video, & More!’. That same update notes other anniversary material around the sequel. It includes the first episode in a new series from Noclip, a documentary team that films game studios at work, focused on the development of Hades II.

For fans, this means a rare hall performance is now open to everyone. The hall held one night. The recording holds it in full colour and sound.
