The world-famous film composer Hans Zimmer is currently on a world tour. And he has just added Abu Dhabi to his tour list! A legendary Academy and Grammy-winning German artist, his works are phenomenal. Over the course of a mere few decades, he has scored over 150 films – including a few by Christopher Nolan. On November 13, 2026, he is bringing ‘The Next Level’ tour to Etihad Arena and we are so excited!
