## The November 2026 Dates, City By City

November 2026 brings How to Train Your Dragon film concerts to a focused group of cities, with Chicago, Lucerne, and Rotterdam confirmed as How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert. The entries below highlight where the sequel is clearly labeled and where the title remains generic.

Chicago’s three-night run is detailed in the ticket section above and serves as the primary North American sequel engagement for November.

1. **Lucerne, Switzerland — November 6, 7 & 8, 2026 (Confirmed: How to Train Your Dragon 2)**

- Venue: KKL Luzern – Konzertsaal
- Showtimes: Friday Nov 6 at 7:30 PM | Saturday Nov 7 at 7:30 PM | Sunday Nov 8 at 11:00 AM

2. **Greenville, SC — November 7, 2026 (Title Unconfirmed As Sequel)**

- Venue: Peace Center
- Showtimes: 2:00 PM ET and 7:00 PM ET
- Note: Listed under the generic title “How to Train Your Dragon in Concert.” Sources have not explicitly identified this engagement as the sequel. Confirm with the Peace Center if seeing How to Train Your Dragon 2 specifically is the goal.
3. **Raleigh, NC — November 13 & 14, 2026 (Title Unconfirmed As Sequel)**

- Venue: Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts – Meymandi Concert Hall
- Performer: North Carolina Symphony (Nov 13)
- Showtimes: Friday Nov 13 at 7:30 PM ET | Saturday Nov 14 at 3:00 PM ET
- Note: Listed under the generic title “How to Train Your Dragon in Concert.” Sequel status remains unconfirmed, so checking with the North Carolina Symphony or venue is advisable.
4. **Pittsburgh, PA — November 20 & 22, 2026 (Confirmed As Original Film)**

- Venue: Heinz Hall, 600 Penn Ave.
- Performer: Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
- Showtimes: Friday Nov 20 at 7:00 PM ET | Sunday Nov 22 at 2:30 PM ET
- Note: [Table Magazine lists the concert as “How to Train Your Dragon – Film with Live Orchestra”](https://pittsburghsymphony.org/production/107628/how-to-train-your-dragon) without naming the sequel. The official Pittsburgh Symphony listing titles it “How to Train Your Dragon – In Concert” and specifies DreamWorks’ original 2010 film with John Powell’s score.
5. **Rotterdam, Netherlands — November 22, 2026 (Confirmed: How to Train Your Dragon 2)**

- Venue: RTM Stage, Rotterdam Ahoy
- Showtimes: 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM
- Note: Available listings do not name the performing orchestra.

Several related dates fall just outside November 2026. London’s Royal Albert Hall hosts How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert on December 28, 2026, Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall presents the Hallé Orchestra on December 30, 2026, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra performs on June 5, 2027, and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra plays Edinburgh and Glasgow in February 2027.

## Additional Productions To Know About

One further North American production sits outside the November calendar but is notable for its profile. The San Diego Symphony at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is presenting a North American Premiere production of How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert, with composer John Powell listed as a special guest. The Rady Shell’s official listing for How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert does not show a confirmed November 2026 date or time and instead asks visitors to choose a date below to see details. Ticket inquiries route to tickets@sandiegosymphony.org.

The broader 2026–27 touring schedule extends through at least April 2027, with additional dates in Montreal, Denver, Albuquerque, Saskatoon, Buffalo, Rochester, and Bradford, among others. The Montréal performances at Place des Arts are scheduled for January 29 and 30, 2027.

Separate productions of the original How to Train Your Dragon in Concert appear alongside the sequel. November 2026 listings in Greenville, Raleigh, and Pittsburgh, as well as a Leeds Grand Theatre performance on October 27, 2026 by the Orchestra of Opera North, present the first film’s score as a distinct program.

## Patterns Across The November 2026 Schedule

November 2026 splits activity between Europe and North America, with Lucerne and Rotterdam in the first three weeks and Chicago closing the month. Chicago’s three-night stand is the only North American November run with explicit sequel labeling and direct primary-market checkout links.

Title ambiguity shapes much of the landscape. Many aggregators and resale platforms group How to Train Your Dragon in Concert and How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert under a single generic heading. Greenville, Raleigh, and Pittsburgh use that generic language in November 2026, while Chicago, Lucerne, and Rotterdam clearly identify How to Train Your Dragon 2. Fans who want the sequel specifically should confirm the film with the presenting orchestra or venue in any city where the title is not explicit.

Demand appears strongest across the European dates. Resale listings describe Lucerne performances as nearly sold out, with the November 7 evening show already sold out, which signals significant interest. The Chicago run, with three performances and direct primary-market ticket access, offers comparatively more flexibility for North American buyers.

The format remains consistent across confirmed productions. Presentations use the full 2014 film in HD with a live symphony orchestra performing John Powell’s score in sync with the picture. Dialogue, vocals, and sound effects stay in the mix, and audiences can expect roughly 1 hour and 36 minutes of film plus a 15–20 minute intermission, for a total visit of about 2 hours.

## Practical Reader Guidance For Chicago

Plan for an experience of about 2 hours, including a 15–20 minute intermission. The film itself runs roughly 1 hour and 36 minutes, and the score plays continuously from the opening scene through the closing credits. No additional programming appears in current Chicago listings.

The Chicago production screens a special version of the 2014 DreamWorks film in HD with the original recorded score removed from the audio mix. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra performs John Powell’s complete score live in real time, synchronized to the picture. Dialogue, vocals, and sound effects remain intact throughout.

The Friday and Saturday performances on November 27 and 28 begin at 7:30 PM CT. The Sunday matinee on November 29 begins at 3:00 PM CT and often suits families with younger children or visitors traveling into the city. All three performances take place at Symphony Center with the same orchestra and format.

Tickets for the Chicago dates are available through the direct Ticketmaster links above, and each link leads to the specific event page for that performance. Buying through these primary-market pages helps audiences avoid typical resale markups.

Symphony Center sits at 220 S. Michigan Ave. with convenient public transit options nearby. The film carries a PG rating. [For the Chicago Symphony Center performances of How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert (Nov 27–29, 2026), every attendee regardless of age requires a paid ticket.](https://chicagoshowguide.com/show/chicago-symphony-orchestra-how-to-train-your-dragon-2-in-concert/) Themed costumes are generally welcome at film concerts, though large masks or hats that block sightlines and any weapon-like costume pieces are typically restricted, so checking specifics with Symphony Center is recommended.
