Mick Gordon Wants to Bring His Doom Live Show to More Cities
Composer Mick Gordon says his headlining performance at the 2027 RADAR festival is meant to launch a broader touring effort. He will play Doom and Doom Eternal music with a band and orchestra at RADAR on August 1, 2027, followed by a set at the Brutal Assault Festival in the Czech Republic. Gordon added that his agency is discussing taking the show around the world over the next two years.
Gordon spoke about the shows during PAX Australia. His RADAR headline set on August 1, 2027, will pair him with a band and live orchestra, drawing from Doom, Doom Eternal, and additional material. Days later, he will perform at Brutal Assault in the Czech Republic, a 25,000-capacity metal festival held in a medieval castle, alongside Children of Bodom, Knocked Loose, and Humanity's Last Breath.
After RADAR was announced, Gordon said European festival offers arrived quickly. He and his agency are now considering a two-year run of worldwide dates. Separately, his soundtrack for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 arrives October 14 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned later.
If the planned touring expands, it could bring videogame music into more metal and rock festival settings, affecting game fans, festival audiences, orchestras, and local venues. It may help normalize hybrid concerts that combine amplified bands with orchestral arrangements, potentially drawing newcomers to both scenes. The scale of that impact would depend on confirmed cities, ticket access, and whether the two-year plan moves beyond discussions. This may also encourage promoters to experiment with similar game-soundtrack events.
