Helvepic

What Helvepic does

Helvepic Sàrl is a Swiss live concert production company founded in 2024 and headquartered in Vevey, Vaud. The company specializes in producing "Epic Music" concerts — immersive live performances that pair orchestras, choirs, and performers with soundtracks drawn from video games, films, and pop culture. Its flagship offering is the live concert event itself, rather than a software or digital product; technology is limited to event orchestration, staging, lighting, and audiovisual production, which is largely outsourced to technical partners such as French production firm G1 Production.

Helvepic reaches audiences primarily through live events and concerts, marketed via a multi-channel organic social presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn) and cross-promotion with community partners such as HeroFest. Its distribution model relies on third-party ticketing platforms to handle ticket sales, payment processing, refunds, and customer support — the company does not own or operate its own ticketing infrastructure. The business derives revenue via transaction fees collected on these third-party ticket sales.

The company serves two principal customer segments: Epic Music enthusiasts who attend live performances, and corporate/IP partners (e.g., Blizzard Entertainment) seeking professional staging of entertainment properties. Its most prominent commercial event to date is "World of Warcraft: 20 Years of Music in Switzerland, 2024," produced under a partnership with Blizzard Entertainment. The company operates with a lean team of approximately 5 people, including founder/CEO Alexandre Pican and Music Director Bernard Duc, and is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• HeroFest: HeroFest is a Swiss pop culture and gaming convention, already listed as a Helvepic partner. It is comparable as a Switzerland-based organizer serving the same Epic Music / gaming-culture persona, though it operates in the convention format rather than the concert production format — making it both a peer and a channel partner.

Broad incumbents

• Live Nation Switzerland: Live Nation is the world's largest live entertainment promoter, with Swiss operations handling major concert tours and venue programming. It is a broad incumbent in the same Swiss live-events distribution space — Helvepic's events may run through Live Nation-affiliated venues or competitors, and Live Nation's scale and ticketing infrastructure (Ticketmaster) represent both a potential channel and a competitive threat.
• Royal Philharmonic Orchestra: The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is a major UK-based orchestra with extensive film, television, and game-music touring experience, including video game music concerts. It is a broad incumbent in the same orchestral live-event space — larger scale, broader programming, broader geographic reach — that could compete for Epic Music concert engagements and rights-holder partnerships across Europe.

Others

• Blizzard Entertainment: Blizzard Entertainment is a major video game publisher and the rights-holder for the World of Warcraft franchise that anchors Helvepic's flagship event. While not a direct competitor, Blizzard functions as an enabler/licensor in Helvepic's ecosystem — its IP licensing decisions directly determine the company's content pipeline and therefore its enterprise value.

Direct peers

• Video Games Live: Video Games Live is a long-running concert tour series performing video game soundtracks with orchestras and choirs, founded by Tommy Tallarico. It is the most direct comparable to Helvepic: same core product (orchestral performance of game music), same target audience (gamers and game-music fans), same format (live concert with multimedia). Helvepic is effectively a regional/niche European entrant into Video Games Live's category.
• Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds is a touring concert series dedicated exclusively to Final Fantasy game music, performed by full orchestras and choirs. Like Helvepic, it is a specialized single-franchise/single-genre live concert production targeting the Epic Music persona — directly comparable on format (orchestra + choir + game music), audience (game-music enthusiasts), and business model (tickets via promoters).
• Game Music Festival: Game Music Festival is a Polish annual festival dedicated to video game music performed by orchestras and ensembles. It is a direct peer to Helvepic: same genre (game music live performance), same format (orchestra + choirs + immersive staging), similar niche scale, and similar European regional positioning — competing for the same European Epic Music audience.
• Symphonic Game Music Concerts: Symphonic Game Music Concerts (SGMC) is a German orchestral concert series dedicated to video game music, performing in major European concert halls. It is a direct peer to Helvepic on product (orchestral game-music concerts), audience (European Epic Music enthusiasts), and distribution (regional live events with third-party ticketing) — a likely competitor in the German-speaking market Helvepic may target.
• MJR Productions: MJR Productions is a UK-based concert promoter that has produced video game music tours including 'The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses' and Final Fantasy orchestral concerts. Comparable to Helvepic on core product (game-music orchestral concerts), audience, and regional European distribution model — a direct competitor in the European Epic Music live-event space.

Emerging players

• FILMharmonic Orchestra: FILMharmonic Orchestra is a UK-based ensemble specializing in film, television, and game music live performance. Comparable to Helvepic on product (orchestral performance of screen/game music for live audiences) and niche audience, but at smaller scale and earlier stage — a potential European collaborator or competitor depending on expansion paths.
