The 8-Bit Big Band live in Philadelphia

Experience The 8-Bit Big Band live on October 24th

The 8-Bit Big Band will perform at Miller Theater in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 24, 2026. The ensemble is known for its unique arrangements of video game music for a full big band instrumentation – typically comprising trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and a rhythm section. Their performances reimagine iconic soundtracks from classic consoles and arcade games, blending jazz harmonies and improvisation with recognizable melodies from titles like *Super Mario Bros.* and *The Legend of Zelda*.

Miller Theater resides within the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts complex. Originally constructed in 1932 as the Metropolitan Opera House for Philadelphia Grand Opera Company, it underwent extensive renovations completed in 2006. These renovations restored many of the theater’s original Art Deco features while modernizing its technical capabilities. The space is specifically designed for acoustic performance and hosts a variety of events including opera, ballet, chamber music concerts and theatrical productions. It offers a more intimate setting compared to the Kimmel Center’s larger Verizon Hall. The theater's seating capacity is approximately 650.
