The award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer is returning to Australia this April for the first time in six years, with tickets on sale Wednesday 12 February at 12pm (AEDT time).
Award winning film composer Hans Zimmer has announced his first live dates in Australia since 2019. The multiple Academy Award® and Grammy winner will be bringing his smash-hit tour Hans Zimmer Live to arenas in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in April 2025.
A groundbreaking audio and visual show, Zimmer’s upcoming tour marks the Down Under return of the legendary composer, who rocked Coachella in 2017 and sold out over 20 shows across 17 cities across the US and Canada in 2024.
With the support of his outstanding 19-piece live band and a full orchestra, Australian fans will be swept away from the sound of the first note and journey through a selection of the composer’s well-loved scores from some of cinema’s biggest films.
Joining Zimmer onstage as part of the Hans Zimmer Live tour is acclaimed Australian singer Lisa Gerrard, who will perform a selection of the most popular songs she co-wrote with Zimmer, such as Mission: Impossible, King Arthur, Black Hawk Down, Tears of the Sun and Gladiator – which won her a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination.
The newly arranged concert suites include music from Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, The Lion King, The Last Samurai and Dune, for which Zimmer received his second Academy Award®.
“I’m thrilled to return to Australia 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 family of talents that – to me – makes them the best supergroup of 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. Ultimately, the music connects us all, and I promise you this: we will always play our best, straight from the heart.”
Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions have captivated a huge worldwide fanbase across generations. Having energised countless international cinema blockbusters, his composition work also includes the films: James Bond – No Time to Die, Inception, Dunkirk, Man of Steel, The Dark Knight trilogy, Wonder Woman, Kung Fu Panda, 12 Years A Slave, Top Gun: Maverick, and Dune: Part Two.
Hans Zimmer has scored more than 500 projects across all mediums, which combined have grossed more than $28 billion dollars at the worldwide box office. Zimmer has been honoured with two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, five Grammys, an American Music Award, and a Tony Award.
His work highlights include Dune: Part One, Top Gun: Maverick, No Time to Die, Gladiator, The Thin Red Line, As Good as It Gets, Rain Man, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Thelma and Louise, The Last Samurai, 12 Years A Slave, Blade Runner 2049 (co-scored w/ Benjamin Wallfisch) and Dunkirk, as well as David Attenborough’s Prehistoric Planet, and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, the follow-up to his Academy Award®-winning score for Dune: Part One.
Zimmer most recently created the score for Steve McQueen’s Blitz, which premiered at the BFI London Film Festival. Starring Saoirse Ronan and Harris Dickinson, the film released in theaters on November 1, 2024. Upcoming, he scored Joseph Kosinski’s F1, which is set to premiere on June 27 from Warner Bros.
Beyond his award-winning compositions, Zimmer is a remarkably successful touring artist, having recently concluded his first North American Hans Zimmer Live tour, after the tour’s second round in Europe.
