Background

]
On August 8, 2016, composer
Ramin Djawadi
announced the
Game of Thrones
Live Concert Experience Tour at an event at the
Hollywood Palladium
in
Los Angeles
with
Isaac Hempstead Wright
, who plays
Bran Stark
in the series. The tour started in
Saint Paul, Minnesota
and concluded in
Portland, Oregon
. The tour consisted of 24 cities across the United States, with additional stops in
Toronto, Ontario
and
Montreal, Quebec
in Canada.
[6]
The tour featured the show's composer, Ramin Djawadi, conducting an 80-piece orchestra and choir, which performed highlights from the series' musical score, on a 360-degree stage. In addition, LED telescoping and wall screens, and special 3D designs, rose from the stage floor.
[7]
Instruments were specially created for the tour, such as a 14-foot Wildling horn played during the Wildling attack on the Wall section.

We really want to summarize the show the best we can, There's a lot of different locations and events to cover. If you come and watch this concert, you really get a nice summary and a nice look back on the past seasons. The one I'm really excited about is '
Light of the Seven
,' which was such a great surprise to the viewers, because it's the first time we're using piano, Besides the orchestra and the choir, we will have the piano and that piece to play. That'll be really great live. - Ramin Djawadi
[10]
In an interview, Djawadi talked about the tour, saying, "I'm going through the music to adapt it more for a live performance, and I might have a vocalist on a piece that didn't have one before, or lengthen another piece, I'm not bound to the picture anymore, so I can let the music tell its own story, and be creative about it."

Stage
[

The concert contained multiple stages and the main stage (King's Landing stage), and featured Djawadi as conductor with the orchestra and choir. On the other side of the stage (Winterfell stage) were another choir and more soloists. In between those stages were four smaller stages, with each being named after different locations from the
world of
Game of Thrones
. There was also a runway between the two main stages, that was also a location.
