Yahoo News Game of Thrones live concert adds more UK gigs
Update: Like winter, the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience is coming. And now it's coming to even more arenas.
The performance has added three new UK dates to its tour next year – it will now play Glasgow's SSE Hydro on June 11, Manchester Arena on June 12 and an additional London date at the SSE Arena in Wembley on June 14.
Tickets for the new dates go on sale from 10am on Friday, November 24 at Livenation.co.uk, although an O2 pre-sale opens at 10am on Wednesday, November 22 at 10am.
Original story: If you can't wait until 2019 for the return of that GoT theme, HBO has just announced some very good news.
Following its success in North America earlier this year, the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience is coming to arenas across Europe for the first time next summer, with several UK dates included in the tour.
The show's Grammy-nominated composer Ramin Djawadi will lead an orchestra and choir performing music from all seven series. And to truly immerse the audience in the realms of Westeros and Essos, they will be accompanied by a custom-made stage design and state-of-the art visuals.
"Bringing the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience to audiences earlier this year was a dream come true, dating back to an idea hatched over three years ago," said Djawadi, who announced the tour news on HBO's Facebook page.
"The scale and spectacle of the production brought the world of Westeros to life in a truly immersive fashion, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share the experience with fans not only in North America again, but also to cross the narrow sea for the first time and bring the show to Europe."
The European leg of the tour will visit 20 cities throughout May and June, kicking off on May 8 in Madrid. The concert will come to Dublin and Belfast on May 24 and 25, with a date set for London's Wembley Arena on May 27.
