Hans Zimmer enters The Next Level – and brings Europe with him! The multiple Oscar® and Grammy® Award winner will return to Europe’s biggest arenas in 2025 and 2026 with Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level.
The Next Level promises a completely new show featuring groundbreaking electronic soundscapes and a spectacular light production that will outperform even Zimmer’s previous shows.
