Legendary music score composer Hans Zimmer takes his tour to Dubai

Legendary Hollywood music score composer and music producer Hans Zimmer has announced he will perform his live tour in Dubai for the first time. Speaking to Euronews, he said that people can expect "chaos" and "something a little different". 

He likens his touring band to a ‘supergroup' and says, “I got Lisa Gerrard from Gladiator [and] from Dead Can Dance if you want. You've got Lebo [Lebo M.], who is the voice of the Lion King. You know, I mean, they got my favourite guitarist, Guthrie Govan. And you never know if Johnny Marr comes in or not.”

Hans has worked on over 150 films, including Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Interstellar, Rain Man, Dune and The Lion King. The latter two earned him Oscar wins for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score) and Best Music, Original Score. He also has three Golden Globes and four Grammys to his name.

The new show will feature specially reimagined arrangements from some of his most popular scores. Hans is also in the UAE working on the sequel to Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

He says the Dune films are a ‘passion project’ for him and credits Villeneuve as being ‘remarkable’. “All directors come to you with great imagination, great plans. They seduce you into doing something. You know, they have these amazing ideas, you know. But the thing about Denis is, on top of all that, he leads with kindness,” he told Euronews. 

Another director that the musician has developed a great friendship with is Ridley Scott, the man behind Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Thelma and Louise and Blade Runner.

“Number one, he's an artist. So, he responds to another artist as well. He lets me pretty much do what I want to do,” Hans said. “It's this constant sort of let's try something
