LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hans Zimmer, the multiple Academy Award® and GRAMMY® winning composer, alongside Semmel Concerts and RCI Global, has unveiled plans for the North American portion of Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level. This innovative new concert experience features Zimmer performing live with his 19-piece band. After smashing records across Europe, where it landed among the top 10 global tours during the first half of 2026, the production is set to kick off its U.S. and Canadian dates on February 17, 2027, in Hartford, Connecticut, as part of its ongoing global trek.

“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.”
For decades, Zimmer’s signature tunes and innovative scores have captured the hearts of audiences from all generations and corners of the globe. His music has helped shape some of the most iconic films in modern cinema, including 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 for crowds in some of the largest arenas across 17 different countries, Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level has quickly become one of the most ambitious live efforts of Zimmer’s career. After its European dates in 2025 and 2026, the tour is gearing up for its highly awaited North American debut in February 2027, with shows scheduled across the U.S. and Canada running through April 2027, wrapping up in Portland, Oregon.
