Review: Hans Zimmer Brings "The Next Level" Tour to Japan

Master film composer Hans Zimmer, renowned for his work on such acclaimed films as Top Gun Maverick and Dune, has returned to Japan with his evolved live production, Hans Zimmer Live �' The Next Level.

On September 16, 2026, the Japan performance took place at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, the tour’s only show in Japan. Following a series of sold-out dates at major arenas across Europe, the tour continues on to cities across Asia. Hans Zimmer was joined by 19 accomplished musicians, with new electronic sounds, dynamic lighting, and elaborate stage production coming together to create a live experience distinct from last year’s first visit to Japan.
