The Sonic Adventure Music Experience is coming to the UK thanks to the people who brought you the Summer of Sonic convention.
Taking place on the 8th of December 2019 at The Garage in London, the Sonic Adventure Music Experience is a live music show lead by Jun Senoue and the SAME band where they perform new arrangements of music from the Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 soundtracks.
The event is being organised by Svend Joscelyne and Adam Tuff who have previously helmed various Summer of Sonic events. To secure your place at the event, tickets can be ordered via the event’s Kickstarter page which is now live and available to view by clicking here. Various ticket bundles are available for groups up to 4 and the event needs to raise £13,500 to secure all the various costs that come with putting on a live show in central London.
If you’re interested and available on the 8th of December 2019, click here to go to the Kickstarter and secure your ticket to the event.

This is a bit of a self-indulgent little piece but I felt compelled to write something about my history with the Sonic franchise as it’s the hedgehog’s 24th anniversary today.
If you’ve ever wondered about the history of SEGADriven and our “place” in the Sonic community then this should answer any questions you may have! It also acts as a personal celebration of the Sonic franchise and a “thank you” for allowing all of the experiences that have come with it.

Happy 24th birthday Sonic!

The Sonic Show have put together this wonderful documentary which takes a retrospective look at this year’s Summer of Sonic and all the effort that goes into putting on an event like this. It’s a wonderfully heartwarming little tale that genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Make sure you watch this:

Summer of Sonic and Sonic Boom return in 2013!
Summer of Sonic will be taking place in London, UK at the Westminster Central Hall on August 3rd.
Sonic Boom will be taking place in St. Louis, MO, USA at The Pageant on August 10th. Doors open at 5pm.
More details regarding ticketing and event specifics will be announced soon.
A final word from myself: some of you may or may not know that I have been a member of staff at Summer of Sonic for the past 5 years, but sadly I will not be able to staff or attend this year’s event. If you are a Sonic fan then please make sure you attend Summer of Sonic as it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and has enabled me to meet loads of new people and make a whole heap of new friends.
Good luck to the team this year (and the chap/chapette who gets to take on my job!) and I’m sure it will be as brilliant as ever!
