The London Symphonic Rock Orchestra fuse a symphony orchestra with rock, playing live reorchestrated versions of hits from Queen, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and more.
The London Symphonic Rock Orchestra play the Scarborough Spa Grand Hall on Thursday 11 March 2027. They're a collective of twelve classically trained artists who formed in 2018, and since then they've played more than 300 shows to over 400,000 fans, collaborating with the Trevor Horn Band and Queen Machine along the way.
The set is built on reorchestrated versions of hits from Queen, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Evanescence, Motörhead, Foo Fighters, Rage Against The Machine and System Of A Down, among others. They play 100% live, and the band describes the result as a 'spectacular showcase' of the fusion between classical and rock. On stage they dress as rock warriors and perform in a candlelit fantasy-forest setting, so the visual side of the show is as much a part of it as the music.
It's a long list of names to pull from, and the set covers a fair bit of ground across rock and metal. You'll hear the heavier side of things from the likes of Metallica, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, alongside the more melodic lines of Queen and Led Zeppelin, with the Foo Fighters and Rage Against The Machine sitting somewhere in between. The whole thing is played through a symphonic lens rather than as straight covers, so it's a different way of hearing songs you probably know by heart.
