Game of Thrones’ Concert Experience Sounds Completely Ridiculous

Game of Thrones will soon kick off its first live concert tour, and if nothing else, it sounds like it will be a complete experience.

Game of Thrones has one of the more iconic theme songs in the modern television era, and not just because you can sing plenty of things as lyrics to the wordless tune. (Pick a phrase with four syllables, and you’re off to the races.) However, that doesn’t mean that the rest of the show’s soundtrack, composed by Ramin Djawadi, isn’t worthy of some love. As a result, he, an orchestra, and a choir will all go on tour starting in February, and a new press release makes it sound absolutely bonkers.

Technically speaking, we’re discussing the, ahem, Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience, presumably since Game of Thrones Live in Concert didn’t have the same sort of gravitas. Anyway, the use of experience really works here, because let’s just run through some of the numbers given in the latest press release:

• 7 stages
• 807 feet of video wall
• 136 speakers
• 11 “eclectic instruments”
• 7 battle scenes shown
• 8 buses for transporting everyone
• 15 semi-trucks for transporting the stuff
• 255 lighting items

Wow, those are a lot of numbers, but let’s just say that it seems suitably epic. There are six complete seasons of the show, after all. For a track like “Light of the Seven”, we’ll take all the speakers we can get to make the chilling song as good as it can be. We expect that concertgoers may be blown away by sheer sound.

The accompanying press release also promises that Djawadi will go all over the world of the show, which includes crossing the Narrow Sea — but how could a Game of Thrones concert not involve something like “Fire and Blood“?

Details can be found on the official website.
