‘Game Of Thrones’ Live Concert Coming To New Jersey

The iconic music from the hit HBO series will transport New Jersey concertgoers to the world of Westeros for an evening.

NEWARK, NJ — The world of Westeros is coming to New Jersey, but Game of Thrones fans have a long wait ahead of them before it gets here.

On Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018, the “Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience” featuring Ramin Djawadi will stop at the Prudential Center in Newark for the only New Jersey show on its North American tour.

During the concert, GOT composer Ramin Djawadi will lead an orchestra and choir in a performance of music from all seven seasons of the Emmy Award-winning HBO series. The concert will also include a custom stage design and “mesmerizing visuals” via state of the art video technology, promoters said.
