There is a wide range of exciting events to look forward to in the coming months from spring starting with the Chicagohenge spectacle and all the bloom it brings, to festivals like Lollapalooza, street parties like Sundays on State and all the other magical summer activities coming up in Chicago.
When it comes to live music Chicago attracts some of the best and now there is a once-in-a-lifetime concert coming up for concert lovers and cinephiles in equal measure.
Award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer just announced that he will be bringing his smash-hit tour Hans Zimmer Live to North America this coming fall with 17 different stops including a show at Chicago’s United Center.
Following a sold-out European run, the tour marks the first time Zimmer has performed in North America in over 7 years with the last being his Coachella concert in 2017.
Guests can expect a mesmerizing audio and visual show from Zimmer’s live band and orchestra including music from blockbuster movies like Gladiator, Dune, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, and more well-loved scores from his glittering career.
The tour will kick off in Georgia with a show at Duluth’s Gas South Arena on September 6 before making its way around the United States and Canada including a birthday show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on September 12,
The 17-city tour stops by Chicago for a show at the United Center on Sunday, September 22, and wraps up in Vancouver at the Rogers Arena on October 6.
“I’m thrilled to return to perform in North America with my wonderful band and excited to share this phenomenal show,” said Zimmer. “I love this feeling of uniting my family of extraordinary musicians with you, the audience. Just an unbelievable group of talents, who in my opinion, are some of the best musicians in the world.”
“But nothing would have meaning without the good grace and support of you, the other part of the family – the audience,” he continued. “Ultimately, the music connects us all, and I promise you this: we will always play our best, straight from the heart.”
Tickets go on general sale at 10 am local time on Friday, March 22 but according to Hans Zimmer’s social media accounts fans can sign up for pre-sale tickets by following @hanszimmer on TikTok.
