Kirby, despite looking as smooth and pink as the day he was born, is officially 30 years old this year, and to celebrate the ageing of video gaming’s most beloved suction orb, Nintendo is holding a special birthday “music fest” and streaming it to the world.
As detailed on the event’s official website, the one-off concert will take place on 11th August at the Tokyo Garden Theatre and will feature original medleys of songs from Kirby’s back catalogue, as played by a “large big band-style ensemble” of 35 musicians.
