The Big Picture

• Hans Zimmer announces North American tour with a mix of iconic film scores, promising a visual and audio spectacle for fans.
• Tour includes special birthday show at Madison Square Garden and tunes from Gladiator, Interstellar , and more beloved soundtracks.
• Zimmer, his 18-piece band, and full orchestra will perform in 17 cities including New York, Toronto, and Los Angeles.

Seven years after bringing his incredible lineup of film scores across the U.S. for a live tour, Hans Zimmer is ready to do it again. The Academy Award-winning composer, known for his work on everything from Gladiator to Interstellar , will soon return to North America this fall with his hit tour Hans Zimmer Live following another successful run in Europe in 2023. Zimmer, his 18-piece live band, and a full orchestra will begin their journey across the continent in Duluth, Georgia at the Gas South Arena on September 6 . In total, they'll visit 17 cities between the U.S. and Canada, including the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on October 6.

Zimmer last appeared stateside in 2017 when he rocked out at Coachella playing the hits from his long career in Hollywood. This run for the legendary artist will include a special celebratory show at Madison Square Garden in New York for his birthday on September 12 , in addition to the other destinations. Each show promises a visual and audio spectacle as he and his fellow musicians perform iconic scores as part of newly arranged concert suites that put a spin on his music. For his North American shows, concert-goers can expect to hear tunes from the scores of the aforementioned Gladiator and Interstellar alongside Pirates of the Caribbean , The Dark Knight , The Lion King , The Last Samurai , and his most recent Oscar-winning work, Dune .

Choosing exactly what to play for the live shows is no doubt a challenge for Zimmer considering his omnipresence throughout film. Anyone who has seen a Christopher Nolan title has more than likely heard the composer's work , given their frequent collaborations including Inception , Dunkirk , The Prestige , and The Dark Knight trilogy. Zimmer's resume also features No Time to Die , Man of Steel , Wonder Woman , Kung Fu Panda , 12 Years A Slave , and Top Gun: Maverick , with his more recent work appearing in Dune: Part Two , Kung Fu Panda 4 , and Netflix's Damsel . Although his efforts have garnered much praise - and an armload of awards - he shared the love with his bandmates and the audience in an official statement, promising a show to remember:

I’m thrilled to return to perform in North America with my wonderful band and excited to share this phenomenal show. I love this feeling of uniting my family of extraordinary musicians with you, the audience. Just an unbelievable group of talents, who in my opinion, are some of the best musicians in the world. But nothing would have meaning without the good grace and support of you, the other part of the family – the audience. Ultimately, the music connects us all, and I promise you this: we will always play our best, straight from the heart.

Hans Zimmer talks about first North American tour dates in 7 years, the magic of composing for film

Film composer Hans Zimmer says his famous friends Pharrell Williams and Johnny Marr convinced him to go on tour, joking that he “can’t hide behind the screen forever.” (March 11)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — For generations, German composer Hans Zimmer ‘s film scores have soundtracked magic movie moments in “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” the “Dark Knight” trilogy, and most recently, “Dune” and “Dune: Part Two.” This fall, Zimmer will bring his award-winning scores to the live stage.

His “Hans Zimmer Live” tour, which sold out in Europe, will make its way to the U.S. and Canada this fall, marking the first time Zimmer has performed in North America in seven years.

The last time, as some fans may recall, was a 2017 Coachella performance.

Over Zoom from New York, Zimmer said he was inspired after “refusing to get onto a stage for 40 years” because of something his friends, The Smiths’ Johnny Marr and Pharrell Williams, told him.

“You have to look your audience in the eye. You can’t hide behind the screen forever. You know, you owe it to your, you know, audience,” he says they told him. And after Coachella, he realized: “I can do this,” he said.

Having done the run in Europe, “we’re at the top of our game at the moment,” he says of his orchestra.

Don’t expect a traditional, classical music setting or a piano concerto — at “Hans Zimmer Live,” there is no conductor, no sheet music in front of each musician, and not a single frame from any of the films he’s referencing.

“I come from rock and roll and I believe in putting on a show,” he says. “People stay with us because we give them an experience which they’ve never had before... Life is hard. Life is tough these days. And people worked hard to go to pay for these tickets, so we better pull off a show that is absolutely worthy of them coming and seeing us.”

“Hans Zimmer Live” kicks off at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Ga. on Sept. 6 and will hit 17 cities across the U.S. and Canada before concluding at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on Oct. 6.

The tour includes stops in Hollywood, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; New York; Baltimore; Boston; Montreal and Toronto; Minneapolis; Chicago; Fort Worth, Texas; Denver; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Oakland, California, and Seattle.

Zimmer says attendees can expect a diverse audience. “I’ve looked out at the audience and there’s a mom with her grandson sitting next to a guy with a mohawk, sitting next to a man in a business suit, sitting next to another bunch of, you know, bikers,” Zimmer said. “So, it’s not just multi-generational, it’s multicultural.”

In more ways than one: Zimmer’s orchestra is from Ukraine; “Two weeks after the invasion started , we managed to get about half of them out of Odessa,” he says. Lebo M, who sings “The Lion King” theme, was a political refugee from South Africa when Zimmer first met him. Pedro Eustache, his woodwind player, is from Venezuela , “and he thinks he can probably never go back home,” says Zimmer.

“I have this very, very international group of players and ... part of what makes them such emotionally committed musicians is that they all have a story to tell you.”

“Hans Zimmer Live,” which has been recently rearranged, includes works from “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight,” “Interstellar,” “The Lion King,” “The Last Samurai,” and “Dune.”

“Each piece is connected with the adventure of actually creating it, the adventure of actually making that movie, the adventure of the collaboration, the adventure of, you know, ‘How did we get here?”, he says. “Where did this journey start? And how can we make sure that it never ends?

“Each one of those movies is painted in color and affected by what is going on around us. And they have all been extraordinary journeys.”

All of these films and their scores are vastly different, but Zimmer’s idiosyncratic approach and arrangements should be considered the connective tissue. That, and a certain je ne sais quoi that makes an effective — and affecting — score.

“You need to be committed. You need to be honest. You can’t be sentimental,” he says of a successful score. “The other thing is, it’s the people who are performing it. Because if you think about it, the last actors that really get hired, the last actors that perform in a movie, are the musicians. So, I’m very careful about picking the people I work with.”

Tickets for “Hans Zimmer Live” will become available for purchase at www.hanszimmerlive.com , starting at March 22 at 10 am local time.
