Hans Zimmer Announces 2027 North American Tour

Legendary composer Hans Zimmer is set to embark on his "Next Level Tour," bringing his celebrated film scores to North American audiences from February through April 2027. The tour will feature performances in major arenas, including dates at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York, on February 19, and the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on February 21.

Zimmer, known for his iconic scores for films such as "The Dark Knight," "Dune," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Lion King," and "No Time to Die," expressed his vision for the tour, stating, "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." The 69-year-old German composer will lead an international 19-piece band, blending live instrumentation with electronic elements and elaborate visuals.

Past concert setlists have included suites from "The Dark Knight," "Dune," "Gladiator," "Interstellar," and "The Lion King." A review of a February 2025 concert in Brooklyn described Zimmer's performance as a "dramatic, heart-racing adventure" that left the audience in a "trance-like state," with the composer having a "gift for starting small and reaching for the biggest crescendo possible."

Tickets for the general public will go on sale Friday, September 25, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Secondary market sites such as StubHub are also offering tickets. The tour includes a comprehensive list of dates and venues across North America, from Hartford, Connecticut, to Seattle, Washington.

In addition to his tour, Zimmer is actively involved in upcoming film and television projects. He is scoring "Dune 3," slated for release on December 18, 2026, and is also composing music for "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," "F1: The Movie 2," and the two-part "Ramayana." For television, he is contributing music to HBO's "Harry Potter" series and Netflix's "All The Sinners Bleed."
