Even if you're not a "Game of Thrones" obsessive, everybody loves the propulsive, dramatic theme music, right? Live Nation is obviously aware of that, and is producing a tour to bring the "Game of Thrones" musical experience to 28 cities, including Portland.

The Live Nation site describes the "Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience" as "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."

According to the item on the Live Nation site, the event "will recreate the various realms found throughout Westeros and Essos as well as showcase footage from the show in addition to all new imagery created exclusively for the tour."

Djawadi is quoted, saying, "For the past six seasons of 'Game of Thrones,' I have been tremendously inspired to compose music to David Benioff's and D.B. Weiss' extraordinary adaption of George R.R. Martin's epic 'A Song of Fire and Ice' series...Now, by combining the music with state-of-the-art technology, we are going to bring the astonishing world of Westeros to fans in a live and unique concert experience."

There's also a statement from "Game of Thrones" creators and executive producers Benioff and Weiss, who say: "For seven years, Ramin has been blowing our mind with his music's force, subtlety, and endless inventiveness...The GoT Concert Experience will be unique in the history of concert tours, an eye-popping, ear-splitting, phantasmagoric blend of the show's visuals and Ramin's powerful compositions. We are more excited for it than anyone."

The tour begins Feb. 15, 2017 in Kansas City, Missouri, and comes to Portland's Moda Center -- we're the last listed stop on the tour -- on Sunday, April 2, 2017.

Tickets go on sale starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time Saturday, Aug. 13 at www.livenation.com. American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Wednesday, August 10 at 10:00 a.m. through Friday, August 12 at 10:00 p.m.
