Lamp Fieber Warfare: Hans Zimmer Goes on Tour

London/Los Angeles (dpa) – Hans Zimmer has once again pulled out all the stops. Most of the Grammy and Oscar winners (“The Lion King”, “Dune”) are in North America for the World Tour Fort, where a new film score is played. On Thursday, his 67th birthday, he announced his next European Tour. With «Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level», a publication will appear on a new concert spectacle for a year.

“I was very happy with it,” Zimmer said in the Deutschen Presse-Agentur interview. It’s been a while since the popular German Hollywood composer took a Zoom trip to his Los Angeles home. For the years 2025 and 2026 there will be a “great experience, a joyful power, a joyful face and a man not so quickly lost in the world”.

Great cinema on the concert stage

The shows do not look so visual that spectacle is performed as bisher. During the work there is an external Kulissen gewohnt. Etwas Ähnliches will be non in the Konzerthallen and the Bühne bring. Friendly registration with Denis Villeneuve gave him the idea. Big cinema for the stage should be.

“I have no fear of that, of letting sets to build and people fly through the air,” says Zimmer. “The industry, the finished lighting installations and the large industrial constructions that are carried out at high temperatures. Every day finds the new art, Magic for the public to discover. And if it is good, it is so.”

With a concept there is a different long-term experience. “A tour is too bad,” Zimmer explains. “And when I am people, bookkeepers and people who earn their money and say: “No, we shouldn’t do that. We can’t let ourselves do that, that’s crazy.” When I have made the design for the new design, I have said everything: “It must be done.”

Rockstar life war not vorgesehen

It is a Tages with a Rockstar that absolutely celebrates a world tour, which the Composer never planted, because he will soon see years with two Konzerten in London’s Hammersmith Apollo during the live debut. “The first rides were very rainy,” remembers the common Frankfurter. Bright lights have been used. «I wanted to make sure that everything was done properly. After all, it was good.»

Singer Pharrell Williams (‘Happy’) and guitarist Johnny Marr (‘How Soon Is Now’) performed their performances. «Pharrell war of battles, that is not in a dunklen Raum or behind a Bildschirm verstecken sollte, that is in rausgehen and the Leuten ins Gesicht schauen müsste. There is a first tour experience, a positive experience, that is my good feeling. So war is a Johnny Marr issue. They were für me da. That is a real Freundschaft.»

More Konzerte, few new films

Inzwischen de Konzerte in Zimmers Leben mehr Zeit een als de Komponieren nouvelle Filmmusik. It is possible that the music player itself becomes a bit difficult. «Moment silly! I am 67. I am sollte das nicht machen. I think that the Fernseher sits and Schokolade is essential, scherzt is and laughs herzlich. “If I’m right, that’s true. I’ll make some film music, but I’ll make some more films, if I want to make my music.»

Steve McQueen’s war films “Blitz” and Joseph Kosinski’s action film “F1” and Hans Zimmer’s most successful projects. There are probably people with registrations of Ron Howard and Denis Villeneuve, for the epic “Dune” an Oscar ended up. Zuletzt hätten hätten but for all smaller, independent films traveled. “Smaller films are more interesting, but it is a big risk taken”, says one. “On tour I heed the bigger risk.”

Zimmer verspricht Music, die is nicht verspielt hat

There are more than 100 films that are the music composer. «In jedem meiner Filme gibt es 40 verschiedene Musikstücke. Material gifts are also genius, such as Zimmer and a talent for musical changes. «I have a lot of respect for the best band in the world. Die without hunger. Die wollen eine Herausforderung.»

Nor the setlist for «The Next Level» is a fest. Aber Zimmer presents his music from longer film hits in Aussicht with «Black Rain», «Backdraft», «True Romance» or «Black Hawk Down» that appeal to the imagination. “There is not a single sweet spot between the 80s and 90s that is not used.”

It’s a good idea to think that the iconic music from the film class core is like “Der Koning der Löwen”, “Fluch der Karibik” or “Inception” is no longer told. Or is it? “If the tour is active, “Der Koning der Löwen” or “Fluch der Karibik” will no longer be included in this version,” he said and perhaps grinned. “But there are still 100 other versions.”
