Background
On August 8, 2016, composer Ramin Djawadi announced the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience Tour at an event at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles with Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran Stark in the series. The tour is scheduled to start in Saint Paul, Minnesota and conclude in Portland, Oregon. The tour will consist of 24 cities across the United States, with additional stops in Toronto, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec in Canada.
The tour will feature the show's composer, Ramin Djawadi, conducting an 80-piece orchestra and choir, who will perform highlights from the series' musical score, on a 360-degree stage. In addition, LED telescoping and wall screens, and special 3D designs will rise from the stage floor.
We really want to summarize the show the best we can, There’s a lot of different locations and events to cover. If you come and watch this concert, you really get a nice summary and a nice look back on the past seasons. The one I’m really excited about is ‘Light of the Seven,’ which was such a great surprise to the viewers, because it’s the first time we’re using piano, Besides the orchestra and the choir, we will have the piano and that piece to play. That’ll be really great live. - Ramin Djawadi
In an interview, Djawadi talked about the tour, saying, "I'm going through the music to adapt it more for a live performance, and I might have a vocalist on a piece that didn't have one before, or lengthen another piece, I'm not bound to the picture anymore, so I can let the music tell its own story, and be creative about it."
Stage
The concert will contain multiple stages and the main stage (King's Landing stage), will feature Djawadi as conductor with the orchestra and choir. On the other side of the stage(Winterfell stage), will feature another choir and also soloists. In between those stages will feature four smaller stages, with each being named after different locations from the world of Game of Thrones. There will also be a runway between the two main stages, that will also be a location.
Reception
The concert tour has been highly praised by critics and fans alike.
