Game Of Thrones will soon go from the small screen to the stage.

The Game of Thrones Live Concert Tour,  is all set to kick off in 2017 across 28 cities in the US and Canada.

Live Nation announced the 28-city Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience on Monday at the Hollywood Palladium, reportsvariety.com.

The show, based on music from the hit series, is described as a “music and visual experience that will bring the Seven Kingdoms to life on a scale never seen before.”

The USC band kicked off the event, marching through the streets of Hollywood while playing the GoT theme song to the delight of hundreds of fans.

Actor Isaac Hempstead, who plays Bran Stark in the epic drama, introduced the composer of the beloved theme, Ramin Djawadi, who also happens to be the man behind the tour.

“We were in the studio together reviewing some music and one of them said ‘I would love to see this live. I want a full orchestra. I want to see a choir.’ So we went from there,” Djawadi said.
