Oscar winning Composer Hans Zimmer has been in the film industry for 30 years churning out classic soundtrack after classic soundtrack. He may not be a name you’d recognise but his music most definitely will be having been responsible for movie scores which include Rain Man in the late 80s, Bird on a Wire, Days of Thunder, Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, Backdraft, Muppet Treasure Island, The Rock (my personal favourite) in the 90s and more recently he’s worked on scores which include Gladiator, Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Inception, Man of Steel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Intersteller. The list is literally endless with classic score after classic score.
Zimmer has never done a concert before in his 30 years of working…. until now. Thanks to our friends at Collider, we have the press release announcing the quite simply brilliant musician is coming to London in October for 2 nights on the 10th and 11th at the Hammersmith Apollo.
You can book tickets here and here’s the full press release. We’ve been lucky enough to interview Zimmer a few times on the site, you can see those interviews here.
