The Next Level promises a completely new show featuring “ground-breaking electronic soundscapes” and a “spectacular light production”.

“For me, every show is a new journey of discovery,” said Zimmer. “With ‘The Next Level,’ I want to surprise my fans and take them into a sound world like they’ve never experienced before.”

Zimmer’s last European tour in 2023 was an immense success. In sold-out arenas, over 400,000 fans celebrated the composer, a man whose soundtracks have profoundly shaped Hollywood blockbusters for decades.
