Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension is a through-composed concert production, not an outdoor festival. The 15 October 2026 performance starts at 19:30. The show typically runs for more than two hours; a reasonable estimate for the end is around 22:30, though the promoter does not publish a fixed closing time. There are no support acts in the pop-concert sense – the evening is a continuous sequence of orchestral suites, choir, solo features and film visuals.
You will hear newly orchestrated treatments of Zimmer’s themes, not a note-for-note playback of the original soundtracks. If you are hoping to see the composer in person, note this clearly: he curates the series but will not appear in Dusseldorf. The exact running order and encores are usually not published piece by piece in advance.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Dusseldorf
- Getting there: Tram 701 stops at PSD BANK DOME; buses 756 and 758 stop at DOME/Am Hülserhof. For many shows the concert ticket is valid on VRR public transport and DB 2nd class – check the logo on your ticket. By car, take the A52 towards D-Rath; sat-nav: DEG-Platz 1 or Theodorstrasse 281. Dusseldorf Airport is about 3 km away, the main station about 10 km.
- What to wear: The arena is indoors. Mid-October in Dusseldorf is often 10–16 °C, cooler and wet in the evening. Comfortable shoes for arena walking and a light jacket for the journey. Smart casual is fine; there is no dress code.
- Where to stay: The Dome is in Dusseldorf-Rath, not the old town. Check hotels around Rath, the airport or the city centre (tram/S-Bahn) early – concert nights fill up.
- Parking: Up to about 2,250 spaces in P1 (multi-storey) plus P3/P4, typically 12 euro, usually opening 60 minutes before doors and closing two hours after the show. VIP underground parking only with the matching ticket (height 1.90 m). Public transport is the easier option.
- Doors and expectations: Promoter lists doors at 18:00, the venue at 18:30 – arrive with a buffer. Bag checks follow standard German arena rules. Zimmer does not play; the night is orchestra, choir, soloists and screens. Latest updates: worldofhanszimmer.com and psd-bank-dome.de.
