Tour 2026
Dear Hans Zimmer Live fans,
The concerts “Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level” at Festhalle Frankfurt (November 3, 2025) and at SAP Arena in Mannheim (November 6, 2025), which unfortunately could not take place, have to be cancelled.
We have carefully reviewed various options for possible replacement dates. However, due to the tight international tour schedule and the limited availability of the venues, it was unfortunately not possible to find suitable alternative dates.
Tickets for Frankfurt (November 3, 2025) and Mannheim (November 6, 2025) can be returned and refunded via Eventim (www.eventim.de/help/updates/) or at the respective ticket outlets where they were purchased.
Hans Zimmer, his band, and the entire team deeply regret the cancellation and hope to return to the Rhine-Main area soon.

die Konzerte „Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level“ in der Frankfurter Festhalle (03.11.2025) sowie in der SAP Arena Mannheim (06.11.2025), die leider nicht stattfinden konnten, müssen endgültig abgesagt werden.
Wir haben verschiedene Optionen für mögliche Ersatztermine sorgfältig überprüft. Aufgrund des dicht getakteten internationalen Tourneeplans und der geringen Verfügbarkeiten der Hallen, war es jedoch leider nicht möglich, geeignete alternative Termine zu finden.

Hans Zimmer Takes THE NEXT LEVEL Across Asia and Australia Before Heading to North America
On this tour, multi-Academy Award® and Grammy® Award winner Hans Zimmer once again redefines the live concert experience – combining groundbreaking electronic soundscapes, spectacular lighting and a striking stage production.
The Next Level reflects Zimmer’s relentless drive to push artistic boundaries, explore new paths and continually evolve his sound. Following its record-breaking run in Europe – where it ranked among the Top 10 tours worldwide in the first half of 2026 – the production continues its world tour through Asia and Australia before arriving in the U.S. and Canada in February 2027.
The ambitious production has already taken Europe by storm. By April 2026, The Next Level had completed 50 sold-out shows across 17 countries, filling some of Europe’s largest arenas and thrilling more than 600,000 fans – further cementing Hans Zimmer’s reputation for creating extraordinary live experiences on a truly spectacular scale.
“I want the fans to get a feeling like they’re at a rave or riding a roller coaster. For me, every show is a new journey of discovery. The biggest challenge is the status quo – you must do everything in your power to leave that behind and find and create something new.” – Hans Zimmer
