Oscar-Winning Composer Hans Zimmer to Perform in Prague Next year

Famed composer Hans Zimmer, who won Academy Awards for ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Dune’, and whose iconic scores for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, ‘Gladiator’, will perform at Prague’s O2 Arena on November 11, 2025.

Tickets start at 1,790 CZK and can be purchased via Ticketportal and Ticketmaster, according to Bestsport agency.

His latest work, the score for Steve McQueen’s war drama ‘Blitz’, will debut on Apple TV+ in November. Zimmer is also scoring a big-budget Formula 1 film, slated for release in June 2025.

The Next Level Tour: A Return to Europe

As part of his upcoming tour, Zimmer will return to Europe with his “The Next Level” tour, starting in Oberhausen, Germany, in October 2025.

According to the composer, the show will offer a next-level experience, though he’s keeping the details under wraps. “It will surprise you, make you happy, and be unforgettable,” Zimmer teased in an interview with the German Press Agency (DPA).

While Zimmer remains secretive about the specifics, he hinted at a massive set and an elaborate light show. “Every tour is expensive. My team of accountants always tells me we can’t afford it. But when I showed them the plan for this tour, they said we had to do it,” Zimmer shared.

His journey to the concert stage wasn’t easy. Zimmer only started performing live in 2014, organizing his first full-scale concert at London’s Hammersmith Apollo with a symphony orchestra and rock band.

He recalls struggling with intense stage fright but credits singer Pharrell Williams and guitarist Johnny Marr for encouraging him to push through his fears.

“Pharrell was convinced that I needed to leave the studio and see the people. He even came to my first tour to check on me. And Johnny Marr was also a great support. They both helped me immensely,” Zimmer reflects.

As Zimmer prepares for his 2025 tour, he’s contemplating what to include in his setlist. “There are some great pieces from the ’80s and ’90s that we haven’t played yet,” Zimmer said.

Zimmer’s connection to Prague runs deep. He first performed in the city in 2016 and later released the live recording, Live in Prague.
