The arena tour will showcase the greatest hits in the previous seasons including the best-loved soundtrack "Light of the Seven," "The Children" and "Mhysa."
Performances will be presented on a 360-degree stage that will be filled with the elements of the Emmy Award-winning show through special 3D designs and LED telescoping and wall screens. The live concert will also show some footage of the series that are exclusively taken for the tour.
Djawadi revealed to Billboard that it took them several years to conceptualize the upcoming live concert tour. He said that they want the concert event to be special in order to give the audience an "immersive experience" of Westeros.
