Game of Thrones is such a cultural touchstone that it simply cannot be limited to a book series, a TV show, and an endless amount of fan art. Instead, the show's composer has been touring the country with an orchestra, performing tracks from the series in the Game of Thrones Concert Experience. Announced last year, the tour has been delighting fans for months now, and your time is running out to go see it! If you're not sure what it is, here's some important info.

What Is It?

Here's HBO's official description of the "concert experience":

"Enter the world of Westeros with the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience — an immersive music and visual experience that will bring the Seven Kingdoms to life on a scale never seen before. Using state-of-the-art technology, Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi, along with a full orchestra and choir, will take fans on a musical journey through the realm — from 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."

So, It's a Concert?

Yes, but it's about the visuals too. This will give you an idea of what it really looks like:
