'Games of Thrones' live music experience coming to Atlanta in 2017
"Games of Thrones" is one of the most celebrated shows on TV and soon fans can revel in a live music experience as well.
The show's composer, Ramin Djawadi, along with a full orchestra and choir, will provide an immersive music and visual experience that promises to bring the Seven Kingdoms to life on a massive scale.
The 28-date tour, which will use video technology to recreate the realms throughout Westeros and Essos and showcase footage of the show, kicks off in February 2017 and hits Philips Arena at 8 p.m. March 14.
Tickets are $39.50-$99.50 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 13 through all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
American Express, Facebook and the Live Nation App will offer pre-sales from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Aug. 12.
“For the past six seasons of 'Game of Thrones,' I have been tremendously inspired to compose music to David Benioff’s and D.B. Weiss’ extraordinary adaption of George R.R. Martin’s epic ‘A Song of Fire and Ice’ series,” Djawadi said in a statement. "Now, by combining the music with state of the art technology, we are going to bring the astonishing world of Westeros to fans in a live and unique concert experience.”
