Final Fantasy 14 composer Masayoshi Soken and his band The Primals will be playing music from the MMO at the UK's biggest rock and metal festival, Download.
Final Fantasy is arguably the most iconic video game series of all time when it comes to music, and it's no surprise that for decades now people have been going to see the music performed in concert. Final Fantasy 14 in particular keeps growing with every expansion as composer Soken continues to drop bangers. So much so that he has introduced his own band, The Primals, who play four-piece rock versions of some of the MMO's most iconic tunes. The Primals have previously played at Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival events and gigs in Japan. Now, the band is coming to one of the UK's biggest gigs.

Curiously, Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello is also playing the festival on Sunday, June 14. Morello recently contributed the Raid Track Everything Burns to the game in 2025. So hopefully we see the track performed live this summer.
