Game of Thrones is going to tour North America, as it was announced earlier this month. Live Nation officially announced "Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience", the tickets of which that started selling off online from Aug. 13. The concert will start on Feb. 15 in the Kansas City, next year.

The concert will hit off in 28 different cities across North America, including Washington DC, Montreal, Las Vegas, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Toronto, Los Angeles and more. Popular music composer Ramin Djawadi will work in collaboration with HBO and Live Nation to deliver a spectacular performance in the upcoming concert.

In an interview published by the Music Business Worldwide in an article, Djawadi said, "For the past six seasons of Game of Thrones, I have been tremendously inspired to compose music to David Benioff's and D.W. Weiss' extraordinary adaption of George R.R. Martin's epic 'A Song of Fire and Ice' series."

The German-Iranian composer has scored music for other blockbusters like Clash of the Titans, Pacific Rim, Warcraft. He bagged a Grammy nomination in the year 2008 for the film Iron Man.

He has plans to implement special video technology to produce the several realms in the show that hosts "King's Landing to Winterfell, along the northern stretches of the Kingsroad to The Wall and across the Narrow Sea to Braavos, Meereen and beyond."

According to him, the GoT Concert Experience is going to be a phantasmagoric and unique blend of the show's visuals. The concert will be laced with Ramin's powerful compositions, Forbes reported.

There are plans to recreate the live magic of George R.R.Martin's fantasy realms by including state-of-the-art technology along with live music and footage from the show. Other preparations in the making include a 360-degree stage design, new imagery and LED screens that will pour more life to the show.

It is expected that the news of the live concert will uplift the mood of fans, as the fantasy epic will end with the television run of eight and final seasons. Season 7 of the GoT will be telecast from next year, but there will only be seven episodes that will go on air in contrast to the standard 10. It is, however, yet to be confirmed how many episodes will be packed in the final season, CNBC reported.
