THE LIVE SHOW
What The World of Hans Zimmer concerts are like
The concert runs through scores from films such as The Lion King, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar, played live with soloists and synchronised video and lighting. Many pieces are arranged as suites that combine several themes from the same film.
The music is played without dialogue from the films, and the evening feels more like a rock-leaning orchestral concert than a quiet classical recital, with loud percussion and electric guitar in the action scores.
Tips for the Glasgow show
- Check the listing to see whether you are buying The World of Hans Zimmer or a Hans Zimmer Live date; they are different shows.
- Seats with a view of the whole stage work best, as the orchestra, choir and screens are spread across it.
- There is usually an interval, so there is time for a drink without missing any music.
New to the music? The Gladiator, Inception and Interstellar soundtracks are the best preparation for the biggest moments of the evening.

Getting to OVO Hydro
OVO Hydro is an indoor arena in Scottish Event Campus on the River Clyde, with a capacity of around 14,000. Exhibition Centre rail station is a short walk from the arena. The listed address is Exhibition Way, Glasgow.
As an indoor arena, it is weather-proof, but bag-size limits and cloakroom queues are common, so travel light.
Travelling to Glasgow for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Glasgow Airport (GLA). A Tuesday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
Flying in the day before the concert leaves room for delays and gives you time to see Glasgow before the show.
