Mick Gordon, composer of the acclaimed soundtracks for Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, will perform the music live with a band for the first time at Sheffield’s RADAR Festival in 2027. The appearance is significant because it turns a highly influential video-game score into a full concert production, rather than a DJ set, tribute act or short medley.

Gordon is due to headline the festival, which runs from 30 July to 1 August and focuses on contemporary, technical metal and progressive rock. He plans to bring his self-built “Doom Machine” and is considering staging elements including fire, screens and projection mapping; however, the article notes that his past public dispute with Doom Eternal developer id Software leaves the concert’s rights arrangements unclear.
