Planet Earth III Live in Concert coming to London and Manchester

BBC Studios and FKP Scorpio UK are bringing Planet Earth III Live in Concert to London this October.

Following on from Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live in Concert arena tours, Planet Earth III Live in Concert will have three special performances at London Wembley OVO Arena and Manchester AO Arena.

The show will feature specially selected footage from the series, shown in 4K ultra high definition on a gigantic LED screen. Playing alongside will be a score by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and Sara Barone for Bleeding Fingers Music, performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic orchestra.

Hans Zimmer and his team at Bleeding Fingers also worked in collaboration with the Grammy-nominated band Bastille on the score and Mercury Prize Award nominated singer-songwriter RAYE.

“Creating scores for any of the BBC’s Natural History series is always an honour for me as there are no more epic stories than those occurring naturally every day in our own planet’s ecosystem,” said Zimmer.

“For Planet Earth III, it’s been a further privilege to work with the incredible world class talents of Bastille who created wonderful vocals on the soundscape for the series, and RAYE with her a beautiful, poignant prequal track.”

Dominic Walker, Global Business Director at BBC Studios, added: “After the successful Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live In Concert tours, we are delighted to continue our partnership with FKP Scorpio and bring the amazing Planet Earth III to London and Manchester, showcasing the BBC’s ground breaking natural history content on the stage for fans to enjoy once again.”

The London show will feature a matinee and evening performance at London OVO Wembley arena on Saturday 5th October, with the Manchester AO arena performance taking place on Sunday 6th October.
