Hans Zimmer Tour 2026: Dates, Setlist, Ticket Prices, and More

Hans Zimmer Tour 2026 and 2027

Tour Name: Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level

Tour Dates: North America, Feb. 17 to April 11, 2027 (remaining 2026 dates run through Nov. 13)

Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level continues to showcase Zimmer's signature combination of cinematic storytelling, orchestral power and modern production. Featuring a large ensemble of musicians and vocalists, the production brings together music from films such as Interstellar, The Lion King, Gladiator, Dune, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight and many more.

Rather than presenting individual pieces in isolation, the show reimagines some of Zimmer's most recognizable film scores as large-scale live suites, creating an experience that feels closer to cinema than a traditional concert.

In November 2024, when he announced the final North American shows of the previous Hans Zimmer Live production, Zimmer said: "This will be the last chance to see this version of Hans Zimmer Live. The next time we tour, it will be a completely new production, setlist, and arrangements." The Next Level is that new production, and it arrives in the U.S. and Canada in February 2027.

Hans Zimmer Live vs. The World of Hans Zimmer

One source of confusion for fans is that multiple Hans Zimmer productions are currently touring.

Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level is the flagship production featuring Hans Zimmer himself on stage alongside his band, orchestra and featured vocalists.

The World of Hans Zimmer is a separate concert experience built around Zimmer's music and creative direction. Zimmer curates the show as its musical director, but he doesn't appear on stage, according to the show's official site.

This article focuses on Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level, including its 2027 North American tour dates.

Hans Zimmer Tour Dates and Locations

After shows in Japan, Taiwan, China and Singapore in September and early October, The Next Level moved to Australia, opening Oct. 12 in Perth. The Australian leg runs through Oct. 29 in Sydney, followed by Doha, Qatar, on Nov. 6 (rescheduled from April) and Abu Dhabi on Nov. 13. The tour then comes to North America in 2027.

Hans Zimmer North American Tour 2027

The North American run opens Feb. 17, 2027, at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, and closes April 11 at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. Stops include the New York area (UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, and Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey), Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco, plus Canadian dates in Ottawa, Quebec City, Hamilton and Vancouver.

The list below shows the North American dates with current prices on TicketX.

When Did Hans Zimmer 2027 Tickets Go on Sale?

The general on-sale for the 2027 North American dates began Friday, Sept. 25, 2026. In Boston, for example, TD Garden's event page lists the on-sale time as 10 a.m. that day. For the March 27 show at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, the official North American tour site shows a waitlist instead of a ticket link. The site uses waitlists for some sold-out shows. As of Oct. 14, 2026, TicketX had resale listings for all 30 dates, including Salt Lake City.

How Long Are Hans Zimmer Shows?

Plan on a little over three hours, including one intermission. Set times logged on setlist.fm for 22 Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level shows put the show at 3 hours 5 minutes to 3 hours 25 minutes from start to finish, with an average of 3 hours 16 minutes. MEO Arena in Lisbon, which hosted the last two shows of the European leg, listed the show at 180 minutes.

The show lengths above come from set times fans logged on setlist.fm for 22 shows: 20 on the European leg (October 2025 to April 2026), plus Yokohama, Japan (Sept. 16, 2026), and Perth, Australia (Oct. 12, 2026). Fans enter these times themselves, so treat them as a close guide, not an exact schedule. No North American show of this production has taken place yet, so the doors and start times come from the event pages for the 2027 dates.

Venue pages for the 2027 shows list a 7:30 p.m. start in Boston, Chicago and Sacramento, with doors at 6:30 p.m. in Boston (TD Garden) and Sacramento (Golden 1 Center) and gates at 6 p.m. in Chicago (United Center). Little Caesars Arena in Detroit (March 3) and Kaseya Center in Miami (March 13) list 8 p.m., with doors an hour earlier. No opening act is listed.

Of the 21 shows with both the scheduled and actual start logged, nine started right on time, eight started 5 to 10 minutes late and four started 15 minutes late. In Perth on Oct. 12, 2026, doors opened at 6:15 p.m. Zimmer took the stage at 7:45 p.m., 15 minutes late, and the show ended at 11 p.m. Across the 14 shows scheduled for 7:30 p.m., the earliest finish was 10:35 p.m. and the latest was 11:10 p.m.

One reason Hans Zimmer concerts continue to attract audiences beyond traditional film-music fans is the scale of the live production.

Hans Zimmer Live Setlist 2026

The most recent show with a piece-by-piece setlist on setlist.fm is Singapore Indoor Stadium on Oct. 7, 2026. The pieces flow into one another as medleys, and a note on the page says the track names are approximate:

1. The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises suite: "Why So Serious?" / "Like a Dog Chasing Cars" / "Gotham's Reckoning"

2. Dune: "Paul's Dream"

3. Man of Steel suite: "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World?" / "If You Love These People"

4. Hannibal: "To Every Captive Soul"

5. The Da Vinci Code: "Chevaliers de Sangreal"

6. Sherlock Holmes suite: "Absurdities: Part 2"

7. Gladiator suite: "Barbarian Horde" / "Am I Not Merciful?" / "Honor Him" / "Duduk of the North" / "Elysium" / "Now We Are Free"

8. Inception and Angels & Demons: "Dream Is Collapsing" / "160 BPM"

9. Pearl Harbor suite: "...And Then I Kissed Him" / "Tennessee"

10. F1: "F1"

11. Dune: Part Two suite: "Dune II Suite: Part 1, Intro" / "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms"

12. Interstellar suite: "Day One" / "Interstellar Suite: Part 1" / "Interstellar Suite: Part 2"

13. The Lion King suite: "Mother Africa" / "Busa" / "Stampede" / "Mufasa Dies" / "Remember"

14. Pirates of the Caribbean suite: "The Kraken" / "Jack Sparrow" / "One Day" / "Up Is Down" / "He's a Pirate"

15. Inception: "Time"

Setlist.fm splits three September shows in Asia into two sets: Yokohama on Sept. 16, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on Sept. 19 and Beijing on Sept. 23. In all three, the intermission came after the Gladiator suite and the second half opened with "Dream Is Collapsing." The Pirates of the Caribbean suite and "Time" made up the encore. The first Australian show, in Perth on Oct. 12, also took its intermission after Gladiator and closed with "Time," according to its setlist.fm page. That page uses shorter titles and doesn't list the individual pieces in each suite. In Yokohama, setlist.fm lists Lisa Gerrard singing on the Gladiator suite and Lebo M on The Lion King suite. The 2027 North American announcements mention Zimmer's 19-piece band but don't name guest singers.

Pieces in Almost Every 2026 Hans Zimmer Setlist

Nine recent setlists on setlist.fm share the same core: five from the European leg (Amsterdam, Hanover, Madrid and two nights in Lisbon, February to April 2026) and four from Asia (Yokohama, Kaohsiung, Beijing and Singapore, September and October 2026). These 21 pieces appear in all nine, listed in the order they're usually played:

1. "Like a Dog Chasing Cars" (The Dark Knight)

2. "Why So Serious?" (The Dark Knight)

3. "Paul's Dream" (Dune)

4. "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World?" (Man of Steel)

5. "If You Love These People" (Man of Steel)

6. "To Every Captive Soul" (Hannibal)

7. "Chevaliers de Sangreal" (The Da Vinci Code)

8. "Barbarian Horde" (Gladiator)

9. "Duduk of the North" (Gladiator)

10. "Elysium" (Gladiator)

11. "Now We Are Free" (Gladiator)

12. "Dream Is Collapsing" (Inception)

13. "160 BPM" (Angels & Demons)

14. "...And Then I Kissed Him" (Pearl Harbor)

15. "Tennessee" (Pearl Harbor)

16. "F1" (F1)

17. "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" (Dune: Part Two)

18. "Day One" (Interstellar)

19. "Jack Sparrow" (Pirates of the Caribbean)

20. "He's a Pirate" (Pirates of the Caribbean)

21. "Time" (Inception)

Shows outside those nine don't always match the list. In 2026, the setlist.fm pages for the March 22 show in Paris and the March 24 show at LDLC Arena near Lyon, France, don't list "Duduk of the North," and most setlists from the 2025 shows don't include it either.

The rest of the set shifts a little from night to night. The Lion King suite is in all nine, but its pieces change: "Circle of Life" is in six of the nine sets, Yokohama and Kaohsiung had "Nant's Ingonyama" instead, and the Singapore setlist lists neither. The Sherlock Holmes suite is also in all nine. From Interstellar, "Murph," "Coward" and "Stay" appear in every set that lists the suite track by track.

Hans Zimmer Tour FAQ

How long is a Hans Zimmer concert?

About 3 hours 15 minutes, including one intermission. Fans logged set times on setlist.fm for 22 Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level shows, from Cologne, Germany, in October 2025 to Perth, Australia, in October 2026. Those shows ran 3 hours 5 minutes to 3 hours 25 minutes, 3 hours 16 minutes on average. MEO Arena in Lisbon listed the show at 180 minutes. Where 2027 venues list a doors time, it's 60 to 90 minutes before the start, so if you arrive when doors open, plan on about four to five hours at the venue.

Is there an intermission at a Hans Zimmer concert?

Yes, one. The intermission comes after the Gladiator suite, which ends with "Now We Are Free," and the second half opens with music from Inception. That held at all 13 shows from 2026 where setlist.fm marks the break, from Amsterdam in February to Perth in October. Neither the official tour site nor the event pages for the 2027 shows in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Miami and Sacramento list how long the break lasts. The show lengths above already include it, so you don't need to add extra time.

What songs does Hans Zimmer play on The Next Level tour?

The show is built from suites rather than single songs. All nine recent setlists compared above include music from The Dark Knight, Dune and Dune: Part Two, Man of Steel, Hannibal, The Da Vinci Code, Sherlock Holmes, Gladiator, Inception, Angels & Demons, Pearl Harbor, F1, Interstellar and Pirates of the Caribbean. The Lion King suite is in all nine too, though the pieces in it change. Seven of the nine list the Pirates of the Caribbean suite (ending with "He's a Pirate") as the encore, and all nine close with "Time" from Inception.

What time does a Hans Zimmer concert start?

Venue pages for the 2027 shows in Boston, Chicago and Sacramento list 7:30 p.m. local time, while Detroit (March 3) and Miami (March 13) list 8 p.m., so check your own venue's event page. Venues that list a doors time open 60 to 90 minutes earlier, for example, 6 p.m. at Chicago's United Center. No opening act is listed. Zimmer has started within 15 minutes of the scheduled time at all 21 Next Level shows with both times logged on setlist.fm. Including the intermission, the show runs more than three hours, and shows scheduled for 7:30 p.m. have ended between 10:35 and 11:10 p.m.

Is Hans Zimmer touring the U.S. in 2026?

No. The Next Level's remaining 2026 dates are in Australia, through Oct. 29 in Sydney, and then in Doha, Qatar, on Nov. 6 and Abu Dhabi on Nov. 13. The U.S. and Canada get 30 arena dates in 2027, from Feb. 17 at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, to April 11 at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. Tickets went on general sale Sept. 25, 2026. If you're choosing between cities, compare the 2027 dates in the list above, since each city gets only one show.
