Hans Zimmer
We are pleased to announce that Budapest has been included as a stop on Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level European tour for 2025/2026.
Schedule
Hans Zimmer is preparing to ascend to an even higher artistic dimension, aiming to enchant and conquer all of Europe. The legendary composer is elevating his creative endeavors to captivate his audience and invite them on an unforgettable musical journey. The multiple Oscar® and Grammy® award-winning composer will return to Europe’s largest arenas in 2025 and 2026 with the Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level tour.
The Next Level will be an entirely new show featuring pioneering electronic soundscapes and spectacular lighting technology that surpasses the maestro's previous highly successful performances. The "rock star composer and Hollywood rebel" (BBC) is currently touring North America, where every concert is sold out, repeatedly proving that not only his musical genius but also his unique performing talent captivates audiences, making him truly one of the most extraordinary artists in the world.
"For me, every performance is a new journey of discovery; with the show The Next Level, I want to surprise my fans and introduce them to a sound universe they have never experienced before," said Zimmer.
The new show reflects Zimmer's tireless work and desire to push his artistic boundaries, explore new paths, and continuously develop himself and his productions. His most recent European tour in 2023 was also a tremendous success.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
