The award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer has announced the dates for his concert tour of Australia and Asia, and Hong Kong is on the schedule. After playing in various cities down under, he will perform in Hong Kong before continuing on to South Korea, Japan, and Abu Dhabi. Here’s everything you need to know about the Hans Zimmer Live tour when it comes to our shores.
When and where will Hans Zimmer perform in Hong Kong?
The acclaimed composer will take the stage for one night only on Wednesday, May 14. As might be expected of a performer of his fame, his concert will be held in the AsiaWorld-Arena.
How much are tickets to Hans Zimmer, and when will they be released?
Ticket prices for Hans Zimmer Live have not been disclosed, but sales will open at 10am on February 25. Make sure you get in the digital queue early so you don’t miss out!
What songs will be performed in the Hans Zimmer Live concert?
No official setlist has been released, but concert-goers can expect to be treated to a selection of Zimmer’s most iconic scores from cinematic hits such as Mission: Impossible, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, and King Arthur. The newly arranged concert suites will also include music from Gladiator, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, The Lion King, The Last Samurai, and Dune. There’s something for everyone, whether long-time fans of Disney movies or connoisseurs of contemporary classic films.
What’s special about this Hans Zimmer concert?
Well, for starters, Zimmer himself will be performing live on stage – it is quite rare for composers to join in themselves instead of conducting their pieces. The German score composer and producer will take to the stage with the guitar, the piano, and possibly more instruments.
Zimmer will be accompanied by a 19-piece live band as well as a full orchestra, so things are bound to be epic. Judging from previous stops in the smash-hit tour, the concert is also going to be a visual spectacle, making use of colours, projections, and live performers to enrich the auditory experience for concert-goers. Previous concerts even included an aerial dancer spinning down from the ceiling, so let’s hope Zimmer’s Hong Kong stop will be just as awesome.
