GAME OF THRONES Live Concert Experience Coming to Europe & North America in 2018

The critically acclaimed GAME OF THRONES Live Concert Experience Featuring Ramin Djawadi will bring the world of Westeros to arenas across Europe starting in May of 2018. Additionally, due to popular demand, a second North American leg of the tour has been added for the autumn of 2018, giving fans the opportunity to watch in wonder as famed composer Ramin Djawadi leads an orchestra and choir performing music from all seven seasons of the iconic, Emmy® Award-winning HBO series. The new dates for the GAME OF THRONES Live Concert Experience Featuring Ramin Djawadi will include new music and footage from Season 7, as well a new custom stage design and mesmerising visuals courtesy of state of the art video technology.

"Bringing the GAME OF THRONES Live Concert Experience to audiences earlier this year was a dream come true, dating back to an idea HATCHED over three years ago," said Djawadi. "The scale and spectacle of the production brought the world of Westeros to life in a truly immersive fashion, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share the experience with fans not only in NORTH AMERICA again, but also to cross the narrow sea for the first time and bring the show to Europe."

The inaugural run of the Game of Thrones® Live Concert Experience Featuring Ramin Djawadi kicked off in NORTH AMERICA in February of 2017 after being conceived by Djawadi three years ago. The show was praised by fans and critics alike as a must-see spectacle for fans of the television series. The Guardian described the show as "Westeros brought to dazzling life." Mashable called it "an epic musical journey," while the New York Times praised it as "a symphonic spectacular."

As rich as the stories, intrigue and world of Game of Thrones®, Ramin's celebrated music for the show has resonated with fans from the very beginning, as the meticulously constructed songs underscored the emotional weight of key moments between beloved characters, lent scale to massive battle sequences and brought to life songs referenced in George R.R. Martin's books. Ramin's relentlessly popular title track alone has become an instantly recognizable pop culture phenomenon in its own right.

"Building upon the incredible response we received from the first tour earlier this year, GAME OF THRONES fans are in for a treat when the updated version of the GAME OF THRONES Live Concert Experience makes its debut in Europe and then returns to NORTH AMERICA next year," said Jeff Peters, Vice President of Licensing and Retail at HBO. "The GAME OF THRONES fan base reaches all corners of the globe, so we are excited a wider international audience will now be able to experience Ramin's extraordinary talent."

The t­our, produced and promoted exclusively by Live Nation in partnership with HBO Global Licensing, will continue to use innovative music tour production and video technology that will recreate the various realms found throughout Westeros and Essos as well as showcase footage from the show in addition to new imagery created exclusively for the upcoming 45 tour dates. Beginning its journey on May 8th in Madrid, the tour will visit 20 European cities throughout May and June. The North American leg will kick off 25 tour dates on September 5th in Vancouver and conclude on October 14th in Toronto.
