Hans Zimmer, the legendary composer who has shaped the sound of modern cinema, is returning to Australia for the first time since 2019 to perform live concerts featuring his iconic film scores. Scheduled for April 2025, the tour will take him to Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, allowing fans to experience his music like never before.
This musical extravaganza, titled HANS ZIMMER LIVE 2025, promises to be a stunning showcase of sound and visuals. With Zimmer leading a 19-piece band and full orchestra, audiences can expect over two hours of exhilarating arrangements from his critically acclaimed film scores.
The tour will kick off on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, followed by performances on Saturday, April 26, at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and concluding on Tuesday, April 29, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
Fans can anticipate hearing music from some of the most celebrated films of our time, including Dune, Gladiator, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, and Pirates of the Caribbean. The setlist has been reimagined to include thrilling orchestrations and fresh interpretations of beloved themes.
Joining Zimmer on stage will be acclaimed Australian singer Lisa Gerrard, best known for her collaborations with Zimmer on scores for Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, and Mission: Impossible. Her powerful vocals are set to add another layer of emotion to the already evocative scores, making this concert experience even more unforgettable.
Zimmer has enjoyed remarkable success over his four-decade career, collecting multiple Academy Awards and Grammys along the way for his contributions to film music. His work extends to blockbuster hits such as No Time to Die, Dunkirk, Wonder Woman, and Top Gun: Maverick. He has not only defined the sound of modern films but has also influenced generations of moviegoers with his distinct style, characterized by the blending of orchestral and electronic elements.
Reflecting on his return to Australia, Zimmer expressed his excitement, stating, "I’m thrilled to return to Australia with my wonderful band and excited to share this phenomenal show... the music connects us all." He emphasized the importance of the audience, noting, "Nothing would have meaning without the good grace and support of you, the other part of the family—the audience."
The last tour Zimmer conducted was met with resounding success, with sold-out performances across North America, showcasing his music’s broad appeal. This upcoming tour aims to replicate and expand upon this success, bringing the same immersive experience to Australian shores.
Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early, as the limited number of performances means they are likely to sell out quickly.
