Following the success of two sold-out nights in Mexico City this past May, Riot Games is bringing ARCANE: Hexcore Nights to China on October 24-26 in 3 different cities.
These one-of-a-kind events will feature an Arcane-inspired DJ set by US-based trio Wavedash, with remixes of songs from the show, immersive visuals, event exclusive merchandise, and much more. Fans can expect to dance the night away while celebrating the music & fandom of the Emmy Award winning series Arcane.
Worlds is the biggest celebration of League of Legends’ esport event, uniting players from around the globe in competition and fandom. This year we are extending that celebration beyond the matches with ARCANE: Hexcore Nights, an Arcane-inspired music live show created especially for players. It is a chance to come together, connect with the community, and experience the world of Riot in a new way.
Arcane is the perfect fit for this kind of event because of its powerful and emotive soundtrack. The music of Arcane tells a story on its own, filled with energy, emotion, and atmosphere. Hexcore Nights builds on that strength, transforming the soundtrack into a live sonic storytelling experience.
By bringing ARCANE: Hexcore Nights to Worlds in China, we are creating another way to celebrate this special moment with our community. It is a chance to share the excitement of the matches, extend the spirit of Worlds into the night, and come together with fellow fans in a live music scene that belongs to all of us.
Presented by Riot Games and Live Nation, the ARCANE: Hexcore Nights will kick off in Shenzhen, Beijing, and Hangzhou starting October 24th. Official ticket prices are RMB 180 (Pre-sale), RMB 200 (GA), and RMB 280 (VIP). Tickets will go on sale at 17:00 on September 19th (Friday), and can be purchased via official ticketing platforms: Damai, ShowStart, Maoyan, Piaoxingqiu, and 247tickets.
