If you’ve ever been to a show like The Rock Orchestra: Arena of Fire, we’d be pretty surprised. This is a rock and metal extravaganza of the likes you’ll rarely have seen, with no-holds barred pyrotechnics, a huge wall-of-sound orchestra, and performance moments you won’t forget in a hurry. It’s coming to the OVO Arena Wembley this October – October 25 to be exact – perfect for getting spooky season started in style. Here are five of the many, many reasons why you should be there.
From The Rock Orchestra’s viral version of The Cranberries’ haunting Zombie, to their new takes on tracks like Bring Me to Life by Evanescence, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica and Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones, this is a night for hearing the songs you know and love as you’ve definitely never experienced them before. The swell of a live orchestra gives these anthems the reinterpretations they truly deserve.
While it might seem like this is one solely for the rock buffs, we’d say that anyone who loves music will find themselves totally lost in the experience of this phenomenal show. Self-confessed metalheads will be in their element, of course, but fans of classical orchestras, theatre lovers, and even just those among the group chat who consider themselves adrenaline junkies will definitely find themselves wowed, too.
Not only is this a feast for the ears - it’s a treat for the eyes too. Arena of Fire is marked by its explosive use of pyrotechnics throughout the night, with fire displays to intensify the brilliance that you’ll be seeing and hearing elsewhere on the stage.
Alongside pro orchestral musicians and jaw-dropping vocalists, you’ll also be confronted with spectacular stunts performed by The Fuel Girls – global fire artists who use huge scale fire props like swords, whips, and spinning fire cubes – choreographed to the music, to ramp up the intensity even further.
Half a million concert-goers can’t be wrong. In just six years since they began, The Rock Orchestra have performed all over the world to audience acclaim, and have welcomed 500,000 music lovers into their world of rock, metal, classical skill and visual excellence. It has to be seen to be believed – so what are you waiting for? Book your tickets now to be there.
