  "account": "Mick Gordon, renowned composer behind Doom 2016's acclaimed soundtrack, is set to bring the game's music to a live festival for the very first time. This unique event, RADAR 2027, will be held in Sheffield, UK, and is dedicated to contemporary tunes, tech-metal, and progressive rock. Gordon, who previously performed a short medley of Doom's tunes at the Game Awards in 2016, will now headline the concert with a full band backing him. He expressed his excitement in an Instagram post, stating that this isn't a DJ set or a tribute, but the music being performed live, loud, and in its rightful form. Gordon has been longing to make this dream come true, and he believes RADAR is the perfect festival to do so. He's also bringing the iconic Doom Machine, an instrument he crafted himself to bring the sounds of Hell to life, to make the performance even more epic. While the concert promises to be a unique and thrilling experience, the technical rights of this concert remain a bit unclear due to a recent falling-out between Gordon and the development team at id Software.",
