BBC Studios and FKP Scorpio UK are delighted to announce that Planet Earth III Live in Concert is set to thrill UK audiences with special performances at London OVO Arena Wembley in October 2024.
Following on from the critically acclaimed and successful Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live in Concert arena tours, the much-anticipated Planet Earth III Live in Concert will include specially selected breath-taking footage from the latest sensational television series produced by the multi-award-winning BBC Studios Natural History Unit will be shown in 4K ultra high definition on a gigantic LED screen. Playing alongside, the concert will feature the remarkable music score by Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and Sara Barone for Bleeding Fingers Music, performed by the fabulous City of Prague Philharmonic orchestra.
Hans Zimmer commented: “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.”
This ultimate concert experience will take audiences across every corner of the planet from deserts and grasslands, through forests, along coastlines and into the depths of the ocean, with extraordinary stories of animal dramas that are thrilling, funny and sometimes heart-breaking. As always, the natural world continues to surprise, and this concert will show how animals are adapting in extraordinary ways to survive new challenges faced at this crucial time in history where humans play a central role.
The series itself was filmed over 1,904 days, in 43 countries and across six continents. Mike Gunton, the Executive Producer of the Planet Earth III television series says: “Planet Earth III is about the resilience and adaptability of nature, and the remarkable animals that are changing their lives to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world dominated more than ever by a powerful force: us. It’s full of surprise and wonder but seen from a new perspective”. Gunton will be the host of Planet Earth III Live in Concert.
The London show will feature a matinee and evening performance at London OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday 5th October with the 2024. For the London matinee show, all children under 14 years of age will be entitled to a 15% discount per ticket.
