ICYMI: Listen to Kristian Nairn’s Interview With Studio 360’s Sideshow Podcast
In case you missed it, you can now listen to Kristian Nairn‘s exclusive interview on Studio 360’s Sideshow Podcast where he talks about his debut single “Up/Beacon (featuring Leanne Robinson),” his Rave of Thrones tour, upcoming music, and of course his role as Hodor on HBO‘s hit series Game of Thrones.

Nairn is well-aware of how much power he yields as the actor behind the most beloved character on the internet’s favorite TV show — the most pirated show of all time. And he’s using this unique position to promote his other passion: house music. When Nairn isn’t shooting Game of Thrones in Ireland, he’s touring the planet spinning house. It’s a grueling schedule that has taken its toll. “I had to stop at one stage there because I was going to die. I hadn’t been home for nearly seven months.”
Nairn is still touring regularly, but in smaller bursts. And he’s embracing the world’s bottomless enthusiasm for his other gig. His tour is titled “Rave of Thrones” and fans are encouraged to come dressed up as their favorite characters from the show. “Don’t blame me for that,” Nairn says, acknowledging the theme wasn’t his idea. “People are going to think you’re some twat,” he says. “I have this opportunity to have a supercharged DJ career. Who in their right mind is going to say, ‘No, I don’t think so.’”
