Hans Zimmer Live - The Next Level

Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level at LDLC Arena

We at LDLC Arena are thrilled to welcome the cinematic power of Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level to our stage, bringing Lyon a stadium-scale concert experience shaped by one of the most influential composers of our time. Our arena was designed for productions that stretch imagination and acoustics alike, and this show does both: a virtuosic band at the heart of the action, an orchestra and choir enveloping the room, and a visual design that transforms music from screen to a living, breathing spectacle. As the Lyon Metropole’s newest major venue, we pride ourselves on precision sound, clear sightlines, and a modular stage that allows Zimmer’s team to deploy sweeping screens, dynamic lighting, and intimate solo spots without losing the epic scale of his scores. From the moment the first motif swells, the hall becomes a resonant chamber—an ideal setting for music that travels from whispering textures to thunderous crescendos.

What awaits you in Lyon

Hans Zimmer’s current artistic moment is as vital as ever. Fresh from new suites shaped around Dune: Part Two—an evolution of the sonic universe he began crafting for Denis Villeneuve—he continues to refine and expand his live repertoire with bold arrangements and unexpected instrumentations. On tour he often revisits signatures like Time and Mombasa (Inception), Cornfield Chase and No Time For Caution (Interstellar), Supermarine (Dunkirk), and the stirring Now We Are Free (Gladiator), alongside the pulse of No Time to Die, the aerial rush of Top Gun: Maverick, and a sweeping Pirates of the Caribbean suite. Beyond the stage, his studio activity remains prolific: collaborations with his Bleeding Fingers collective on prestige series such as Planet Earth III, continued exploration of hybrid orchestral-electronic textures, and fresh concert adaptations that bring under-the-radar cues into the spotlight. The Next Level isn’t just a name; it’s a pledge to reimagine familiar themes with new colors and dramatic arcs, and LDLC Arena offers the scale for those reinventions to land with full emotional force.

Expect an immersive narrative evening that foregrounds the musicians themselves. At LDLC Arena, we’ll host Zimmer’s core ensemble—soloists renowned for turning leitmotifs into virtuosic showcases—framed by a powerful orchestra and choir. Tender cello lines can hover in the rafters; thunderous percussion will roll across the tiers; and delicate woodwinds will find precise definition thanks to the room’s calibrated acoustics. Giant HD screens will draw you deeper into each story world, while lighting cues carve out set-piece chapters: the windswept austerity of Arrakis, the nocturnal neon of a city caught in a dream, the oceanic velocity of aerial dogfights. For our audience in Lyon and Décines, this means cinema without a projector—music that delivers spectacle on its own terms. Arrive ready to travel: from the haunting vocal textures that defined Dune to the ticking urgency of wartime dramas and the lyrical momentum of heroic epics. With Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level, we are proud to transform LDLC Arena into a vast, intimate instrument—one that lets every whisper, every drum stroke, and every triumphant fanfare resonate long after the final bow.
