Hans Zimmer has announced two UK arena shows for 2016 - one at London's Wembley Arena and one at Birmingham's Barclaycard Arena, Gigwise reports.

The German composer and producer has composed some of the most iconic films scores of the past few decades, including The Lion King, The Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Interstellar.

His works are notable for integrating electronic music with traditional orchestral arrangements - and so they're perfectly suited to a live setting.

Zimmer will be performing at London's Wembley Arena on 6 April 2016, and at Birmingham's Barclaycard Arena on 12 April 2016.
