Mick Gordon Announced For Radar Festival 2027
Radar Festival has announced that composer Mick Gordon will make a world-first live appearance at its 2027 event. Gordon, known for his work on the DOOM, DOOM Eternal and Wolfenstein 2 soundtracks, will perform the DOOM music with a full live band and orchestra rather than as a DJ set or tribute, marking a notable crossover between video-game music and live heavy music performance.
The festival will take place from 30 July to 1 August 2027, with tickets due to go on sale on Friday 7 August. Gordon has also collaborated with artists including Bring Me The Horizon and Motionless In White; meanwhile, Radar Festival 2026 begins today with Thy Art Is Murder, Skindred and Animals as Leaders as headliners.
In short
- Mick Gordon will debut a live DOOM performance at Radar Festival 2027.
- The show will feature a band and orchestra.
- Tickets go on sale on 7 August.
Explained simply
Mick Gordon is an Australian composer best known for music written for video games, including DOOM and Wolfenstein 2. Those soundtracks combine heavy guitars and electronic sounds, and have helped bring game music to audiences beyond players.
Radar is a UK festival focused on progressive and heavy music, including performances by bands and instrumentalists. A full band and orchestra playing music from a game soundtrack brings together concert performance and video-game culture, and offers fans a different way to hear music originally made for gameplay.
