“I want fans to feel like they’re at a rave party or riding a roller coaster. For me, every show is a new voyage of discovery,” says Zimmer. “The greatest challenge is the status quo – you have to do everything in your power to leave it behind and find and create something new.”
Over the years, Zimmer’s iconic scores and innovative compositions have resonated with audiences of all ages worldwide. His music has shaped some of the most memorable films in recent cinema history, such as The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, Dune: Part One, Dune: Part Two, No Time to Die, Dunkirk, Man of Steel, The Last Samurai, Wonder Woman, Kung Fu Panda, 12 Years a Slave, and Top Gun: Maverick.
Having already performed in major arenas across 17 countries, Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level has rapidly become one of the most ambitious projects in Zimmer’s storied career. Following its European dates in 2025 and 2026, the tour will finally hit North America in February 2027, with shows scheduled across the U.S. and Canada through April 2027, ending in Portland, Oregon.
