Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, Game of

set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can
last years, and only the lust for power is eternal. The
Emmy®- and Golden Globe Award-winning series has
captured the imagination of fans globally, making it one of the
most popular shows on television.
"For the past six seasons of Game of Thrones, I have been
tremendously inspired to compose music to David Benioff's and D.B.
Weiss' extraordinary adaption of George R.R. Martin's epic 'A Song of Fire and
Ice' series," says Ramin Djawadi. "Now, by combining the
music with state-of-the-art technology, we are going to bring the
astonishing world of Westeros to fans in a live and unique concert
experience."
"For seven years, Ramin has been blowing our mind with his
music's force, subtlety, and endless inventiveness," said Game
of Thrones® creators/executive producers
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. "The GoT Concert Experience
will be unique in the history of concert tours, an eye-popping,
ear-splitting, phantasmagoric blend of the show's visuals and
Ramin's powerful compositions. We are more excited for it
than anyone."
"Game of Thrones has one of the most engaged audiences in
television," said Josh Goodstadt,
Vice President, HBO Global Licensing. "We can't wait to see
fans and newcomers alike immerse themselves in Ramin's incredible
music and the world of Westeros through this epic concert
experience."
"Live Nation is honored to be partners with HBO and Ramin
Djawadi in bringing fans of the hit series a spectacular live
experience centered around the music of Game of Thrones and
performed using cutting edge technology to create a show unlike
anything seen before," says Omar
Al-Joulani, SVP, North American Touring at Live
