As strange as it sounds, the Game of Thrones universe has a bizarrely rich history with DJ sets. Long-time fans may remember that star Kristian Nairn (who played Hodor) gained wide recognition for his DJ sets, especially through his tour Rave of Thrones where he took nightclubs by storm with his immersive, Westeros-themed sets.
With House of the Dragon, we're saying the next generation of Westeros ravers, notably in the form of Jace Targaryen himself, Harry Collett. The young actor is growing in fame on the music scene alongside his acting career. His music production career has garnered attention from BBC Radio 1, and he's performed a back-to-back set at Miami Music Week.
Naturally, like Kristian Nairn before him, Collett is leveraging the success of his work on Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon to fuel his music career. The actor is performing a set during the House of the Dragon season 3 New York City waterfront screening called 'Dragon Solstice.' He's not the only DJ on stage either, with Mister Sunday also involved.
"New York's hottest party of the summer just happens to have dragons," the HBO description of the event reads. "Dragon Solstice, House of the Dragon's official premiere celebration, takes over The Rooftop at Pier 17 on the summer solstice for dancing, drinks and DJ sets from Mister Sunday and Prince Jacaerys himself, Harry Collett. As the sun sets over the city skyline, the celebration gives way to a waterfront premiere screening of Season 3, Episode 1. Until then, the rooftop and the throne are yours to claim."
Of course, having Collett as the DJ is particularly fitting after the Battle of the Gullet. We're not spoiling anything here, but Jace Targaryen is one of the key players in the naval engagement, flying his dragon Vermax into battle against the Triarchy fleet. As for what follows, you'll have to wait and see. The battle is all set up to be one of the biggest and most devastating in Westeros history — just recently, showrunner Ryan Condal said it was so expensive to make that it was "frankly irresponsible."
The event takes place on the evening of the House of the Dragon season 3 premiere on June 21 at 6:30 PM until 10:00 PM. After witnessing the Battle of the Gullet, fans are going to need to wind down with some music and partying. Join the waitlist here.
