Mick Gordon plans a road tour for his Doom concert
Composer and guitarist Mick Gordon is gearing up for an incredible tour, promising to bring the sonic fury of the Doom and Doom Eternal soundtracks to massive live metal festivals across the globe. The details revealed recently paint a picture of a monumental event where video game music meets the raw power of heavy metal.
Gordon has announced two major headline performances planned for 2027. First, he will be taking the stage at the UK’s RADAR festival on August 1, 2027. This show will feature Gordon with a full band and a live orchestra, delivering the epic scores from Doom and Doom Eternal alongside other incredible music.
The excitement doesn’t end there. Shortly after, Gordon is slated to headline the Brutal Assault Festival in the Czech Republic. This festival promises an immersive experience set within a medieval castle, featuring a lineup of powerhouse bands including Children of Bodom, Knocked Loose, and Humanity’s Last Breath. It is set to draw an estimated 25,000 attendees, promising a truly colossal metal experience.
What makes this vision so compelling is the desire to bridge the gap between digital soundscapes and live performance. Gordon has long aimed to fuse the excitement of videogame music with the visceral energy of rock and metal. He seeks to create an experience that is unlike typical concerts, where the audience can immerse themselves in a massive mosh pit driven by epic soundtracks.
For a long time, he envisioned a setting where listeners could sit back, enjoy the sound of their favorite music played by an orchestra, and feel the intensity of heavy metal simultaneously. Gordon believes he has found the perfect position to deliver this unique blend, finding himself optimally placed to marry the universe-grifting sounds of video games with live rock spectacle.
This initiative is part of a broader plan. Gordon and his agency are actively discussing opportunities to bring these spectacular shows to fans worldwide over the next two years, signaling a massive expansion of the Doom universe into the live music world. Fans can look forward to many more announcements as this heavy metal magnificence continues to unfold.
Meanwhile, fans can continue to enjoy Gordon’s heavy metal mayhem in other media, including the soundtrack for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, which is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version coming soon.
