Symphonic Rock 3 Is Bringing Linkin Park, Led Zeppelin & More To Life With A Full Orchestra At PJPAC This November

Fans of rock music can look forward to a unique concert experience from 13 to 15 November 2026 as TUTAN Entertainment brings back its signature production, Symphonic Rock, for a third edition that blends the energy of rock music with the grandeur of a full orchestra.

The concert promises to transform some of rock's biggest anthems into large-scale orchestral spectacles, combining the power of a full orchestra with the intensity and attitude that made the originals iconic in the first place.

Having attended the second edition last year, we can confidently say the experience is unlike a typical rock concert. Hearing songs you know by heart performed with a live orchestra adds an entirely new dimension to the music, making familiar tracks feel grander, richer and, at times, surprisingly emotional.

Rock classics meet symphonic power

Audiences can look forward to music by legendary acts including Led Zeppelin, Prince, Linkin Park, AC/DC, Scorpions, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, Green Day, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys.

Among the songs set to receive the symphonic treatment are Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Purple Rain, Numb, Thunderstruck, Wind of Change, Smoke on the Water, Mr. Brightside and Do I Wanna Know?

Rather than simply performing rock hits with orchestral backing, Symphonic Rock 3 aims to completely reimagine each song through new arrangements designed specifically for a full orchestra. Familiar guitar riffs, drum patterns and vocal melodies will be joined by sweeping strings, dramatic brass sections and cinematic orchestration, revealing new dimensions within songs many fans have known for years.

According to conductor Kevin Field, the goal has always been to offer audiences a fresh way of experiencing music they already love.

"We want to take music people already have a relationship with and let them experience it from a completely different perspective," he said.

"With a full orchestra, you suddenly have an enormous palette of sound to work with, but the heart, attitude and energy of rock still have to remain."

One thing we particularly enjoyed about last year's show was how it managed to strike a balance between staying faithful to the original songs while still giving them a fresh identity. It wasn't just a case of adding strings to rock tracks as the orchestra became an integral part of the music.

That same approach appears to be at the heart of this year's concert.

Whether you're a lifelong rock fan, an orchestra enthusiast, or simply curious to hear some of music's most iconic songs from a completely different perspective, Symphonic Rock 3 looks set to deliver a concert experience that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

Symphonic Rock 3: Where Rock and Orchestra Collide will take place from 13 to 15 November 2026 at Stage 1 Theatre, PJPAC @ 1 Utama. Tickets are priced between RM120 and RM320. For tickets visit here and for more information visit here.
