Who DOESN’T get chills when hearing the Game of Thrones theme song? Or any of composer Ramin Djawadi‘s iconic Thrones creations, like the haunting “Light of the Seven”? I know I do, and with the announcement today that the hugely popular Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience will return in 2018, it looks like the fandom will again have the chance to get those goosebumps in public.
Dwajadi announced the tour in a Facebook live video, where he expressed his excitement to lead the tour again and treated viewers to a performance of Arya’s theme on a hammered dulcimer:

OMG it’s coming to San Diego. I couldn’t be happier. I really want to go.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yeeeeeesssssss! Finally! Get Hype!
Saw it last March in Toronto and will be going again for the final night of the tour on October 14th!!
Just seen on the Facebook page, so its London May 27th. It will require me to go south from t’North but bloody hell I’m tempted to book a couple of days in the capital and put up wi southrons 🤔
Snagged my tix ~ on the floor! Saw last time and GREAT!
This is turning out to be the best day for Game of Thrones news since Season 7 drew to a close back in August. Casting calls, confirmation of the directors for the final season, and now, Ramin Djawadi announcing a new concert tour!
Seeing Ramin perform live in concert back in February was an amazing experience, and I sincerely hoped that he would do another tour this offseason, with addition of new music he composed for Season 7. I’m particularly keen to hear “Dragonstone”, “Truth”, and “The Army of the Dead” performed live with a full orchestra. I’ve been listening to the Season 7 soundtrack incessantly for the past month, but those three tracks have gotten particularly heavy play. And he’s returning to Connecticut as part of this new tour, so it looks like I’m in luck!
I’m also glad to hear that he’s added a European leg to the tour so that all Game of Thrones fans across the pond who didn’t get to see him in concert this past year will now have that chance. Trust me, if he’s playing in a city near you, try and make plans to see the show. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Very exciting! I was supposed to go earlier this year, but I had to miss it because I was too sick that day 🙁
Nothing in the south, outside of Texas and Florida?
Not in Nashville (ie premier Con of Thones) or Atlanta (ie DragonCon for heaven’s sake)?
I’m getting the feeling there’s a little regional prejudice going on here!
Aah, the lovely and incredibly talented Ramin Djawadi – and now touring Europe, too! I might sail across our Narrow Sea to Stockholm on 31 May!
Loved the way they did the tour map, lol!
Aw, no Portland this year. Oh well, It’ll give me a reason to visit Seattle! Hope to see the show again because last time was amazing. 🙂
Get in! Phoenix, city of ashes, representing!
Saw the Boston concert in March and it was well worth it.
Glad to hear that it is coming back and I will certainly go again…maybe in a different venue. I am determined to enjoy all of the GOT activities before this wonderful show is gone forever.
See you on September 25, 2018. It is known.
I am on the Ticketmaster website. Not seeing a “Promotions and Special Offers” option from any drop-down menu. Via the app on my phone, also not seeing a “Promotions and Special Offers” option from a… drop-down menu. Please elaborate.
So hyped… meilleure nouvelle de ma journée!
Count me IN!
I’m having the same problem here :-/
Belgium too!!!!!
Sooooo haaaaaapppppppyyyyy!!!!!!
😀😀😀😀😀😀
Chilli,
Belgium indeed! I think I’m in!!!
Or New Orleans? I know tons of people who’d go to see it over here. 🙁
At last…they’re coming here. And today I bought my ticket for Con of Thrones! This will help compensate for the Long Night between S7 and S8.
AzorAhai-Archangel,
Not sure if you got this sorted in the meantime, but there was also a Facebook presale on Ticketmaster with the code WINTER. Hopefully you can get tickets that way!
Poor Aussies 😞
Budapest or Vienna is the question for me or both?
Looking into getting tickets at The Forum in LA for Sept 9th.
Looking at their stadium diagram/map and the stage seems much smaller than the last tour. Do you think their map is correct because I want to make sure I get great seats.
Last tour I went to the show in Phoenix and we got seats on the 4th row from the front in the middle between the two sets. It was perfect to see everything going on on both stages and the big TV.
Ginger,
I think they just changed the configuration of the stage and floor plan. It looks like it will be for the better. I had floor seats for last tour & depending on where you were located it could be either good or bad. Luckily, mine were in a good spot.
cuddly crow,
I got my tickets last night for the show at the Forum and chose floor seats. I’d imagine they would still have some large screens to show pieces of the show again. Can’t wait to see what the layout will look like this time!
Just got my ticket for London 🙂
Ginger,
That’s fantastic!!! I think the set up is better for viewing the screen and musicians for this tour. You are sure to have a great time!
Tar Kidho,
I just bought my ticket!!!!
Sportpaleis Antwerp, here I come! 🙂 🙂 🙂
rosiegamgee,
Just got mine for London too. My son is coming with me as he knows London much better than me. We are travelling from t’North I am so excited I can’t wait at least it will brighten the long watch!
I just want them to come to Australia 😢
