Now that your Sunday nights no longer consists of watching Game of Thrones, you can get your GoT fix on the dance floor. According to Rolling Stone, Kristian Nairn, who plays the Bran-carrying giant Hodor, will embark on a DJ tour of Australia at the end of August.
Dubbed "Rave of Thrones," Australian promoter Falcona, says the six-date trek will feature Hodor of House Stark "showcasing some of the deepest house from all seven kingdoms."
Each venue will be given a Game of Thrones-inspired makeover. The dress code is also Westeros-themed. Falcona also promised that each "Rave of Thrones" would feature a visual GoT-themed set from Australian artist EGO as well as other special guests.
This isn't Nairn's first time DJing. As Rolling Stone points out, the actor has been a longtime DJ in the Belfast house music scene, working as a resident DJ at the Kremlin club in Northern Ireland's capital for the past 11 years. You can listen to some of his mixes, remixes and originals on SoundCloud.
In an 2012 interview with Red Dot Diva (via RS), Nairn explained the differences and similarities between acting and DJ.
"[Acting and DJing] is a similar process for me, but with slightly different components," Nairn told them. "When DJing, I am definitely trying to keep my mind very much switched on, and for Hodor, it's really the opposite. But [I still want] to be present in the scene, and to react well to what is happening, because I believe Hodor is a great reactor. I don't think too much is planned in his head!"
We hope he pulls a "Maybach Music" and insert "Hodor" into the mix because that would be awesome.
