To The Concert is the tenth stage from Streets of Rage 4.
Story[]
After defeating Max at the top of the Y Tower, and get him rid of the mind-control put by the Y Twins' music, the party goes check on him, who apologizes, saying he couldn't control himself, and that he didn't want to hurt them. Their reunion is quickly interrupted by Ms. Y, who pronounces herself as the queen of the city. Infuriated, she orders her brother to activate the mind control device, and loud music bombards the heads of the heroes painfully.
Luckily, they're saved by none other than Estel, who destroys the large speakers with a flying kick, and claims she'll arrest the twins. However, the pair takes a helicopter and flee, saying they have a concert to attend to. Cherry points out that DJ K-Washi will be performing, and that the show will broadcast all over the city, meaning the twins will use their mind-control device on his music to enslave everyone. Now an ally to the heroes, Estel tells them to go ahead while she arrests the thugs in the Y Tower. The heroes jump off the building and land on a nearby rooftop, rushing to arrive at the concert before the twins do.

Overview[]
The Rooftops[]
The player starts on a rooftop following the escape from the Y Tower. A group of BT and Garam will appear, while, a bit further, Gudden, wielding a metal bat, will be waiting; he'll often start by throwing the bat. After clearing the group and moving a bit to the right, another group, with Josephs and Jonathans wielding knives, as well more Guddens with bats, will appear. Once all enemies are defeated, the player can proceed by jumping down to the next roof.
Hotel Rooftop[]
Atop of the hotel rooftop, the player will be ambushed by Condors and Ravens. There is a small gap between the building, which can be use to throw enemies at. A bit further, Z, wielding a hammer, will be waiting. After around 3 seconds once engaging him, Sugar, Honey and Caramel will jump down, while two Margarets throw grenades from high ground for a while before getting down.
Progressing further, Garams will appear, followed by a group of Josephs and Jonathans wielding knives. Once defeating them, Anry will leap from the background, followed by Big Ben (two on harder difficulties). After defeating them, the player can proceed by jumping down to the next area.
Construction Site[]
The player will fall in a small area, where, a bit further, a narrow gap will be blocked by a large wrecking ball, with a Gudden wielding a mace will strike it as soon the player approaches. From the left side, various Garam and Jonathans will continuously spawn, while from the right side, Guddens and Z. The player can use the wrecking ball to their advantage to keep the enemies on the right side at bay.
After defeating the enemies and crossing the gap, another wrecking ball will be at the middle of the screen. Z and Gudden will be found on the right side, working with a mace and a hammer, respectively. Defeating them will cause Koobo to leap from offstage (two on higher difficulties), on the top side of the screen. Once he loses around 30% health, various Guddens and Z will appear from the left side of the screen, and if they're defeated, Garams and Jonathans will appear. Much like before, the player can use the wrecking ball to their advantage and bait enemies into it. Care should be taken with Koobo as he'll constantly use his magnetic pull to attract the maces, hammers and bricks towards the player. Enemies will not stop spawning until Kooboo is defeated. After that, the player can proceed to the final area.
Retro Mini-Boss: Souther (Mania+ only)[]
If playing on Mania+, a cursed arcade cabinet will be located at the bottom right side of the screen in the arena where Koobo is fought. Destroying it will spawn Souther. It's strongly recommended to only break it after defeating all but one enemy (ideally Koobo at low health), as Souther attacks relentlessly with his claws, and will have super armor while doing so.
Boss: DJ K-Washi[]
- Main article: DJ K-Washi#Boss Fight
On Mania+, in addition to the Red Signals and Golds, DJ K-Zushi and DJ K-Nashi will appear once K-Washi reaches 70% and 30% health, respectively.
