After embarking on his first ever tour this year in Europe, legendary film composer Hans Zimmer has announced that he will bring this unique musical offering to the United States for a run of shows. The performances will showcase the greatest hits from his remarkable career, split into two sets: the first set will include the scores for The Lion King, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean and more, and the second set will focus on Zimmer’s groundbreaking work with director Christopher Nolan on The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar.
Zimmer has also promised that “special guests from the rock and pop world” will join him at select stops throughout the tour. Zimmer is excited to hit the road, saying via a press release that “performing a concert series like this is something that I have always wanted to do. I am very excited to get some of my very talented friends together and give our audiences an experience unlike any concert they have ever been to before.”
To get an idea of the awesome audio-visual experience of this tour, check out this fan-shot video from one of his stops in Europe from this past summer, courtesy of YouTube user Justin Dijkshoorn. The video contains the majority of a show and features material from Driving Miss Daisy, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Thin Red Line, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, Aurora, Interstellar, and Inception.
The tour will only make three stops in the United States, all of them on the West Coast. Zimmer will hit the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on April 14th, The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on April 19th, and The Park Theater in Las Vegas on April 21st. The tour will then make a quick stop in Australia before returning to Europe for a lengthy tour that will take up most of May and June. See below for a full list of upcoming Hans Zimmer tour dates.
