Bear McCreary, the celebrated composer behind the music for God Of War and Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power, has announced a London headline gig.
McCreary has also written music for Call Of Duty: Vanguard, The Walking Dead and Godzilla: King Of The Monsters while last year, he released “epic rock concept” album ‘The Singularity’ which featured collaborations with Slash, Corey Taylor, System Of A Down‘s Serj Tankian, Anthrax‘s Scott Ian and many more.
He’s now confirmed details of a European ‘Themes And Variations’ tour. The run of shows will see McCreary “bring selections from the last twenty years of his career to the stage,” with the help of a six-piece band.
Bear McCreary’s ‘Themes And Variations’ tour will kick off with a gig at London’s Indigo At The O2 on April 18. From there, he’ll play across mainland Europe before returning to North America in May for another string of headline shows. Tickets are available here.

“I am thrilled to perform highlights from throughout my career and visit some of my favourite cities in the world. I look forward to connecting with fans and bringing my music to bombastic life on the concert stage. Let’s go!”
Support for the entire European tour will come from Morgan Sorne, who has collaborated with McCreary on a range of projects including The Witcher: Blood Origin, Foundation and ‘The Singularity’.
