This February, winter is coming to Chicago, both literally and figuratively. Game of Thrones fans, get ready: On February 19, 2017, the United Center will be transformed into Westeros for the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience. If you’ve ever wished Chicago were Westeros, your dreams will come true for one night only.
But what does a "live concert experience" of a TV show entail, exactly? Excellent question. Composer Ramin Djawadi, who writes the Game of Thrones music, will conduct a full orchestra and choir to play the already iconic Game of Thrones score. The event also promises state-of-the-art technology that will bring the Seven Kingdoms to life, though we’re not entirely sure what that means.
Game of Thrones’ original score is an integral part of the show, so this concert is sure to be a hit with both fantasy geeks and Wrigleyville bros alike. Because who doesn’t love spending their Sunday night watching an hour of incest and slaughter?
Tickets go on sale here this Saturday, August 13 at 10am. But in the meantime, hit up these restaurants to feast like you’re in Winterfell.
