BBC Studios and FKP Scorpio UK are delighted to announce that Planet Earth Iii Live in Concert is set to thrill UK audiences with three special performances at London Wembley OVO Arena and Manchester AO Arena 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 and his team at Bleeding Fingers also worked in collaboration with Brit-winning and Grammy-nominated band Bastille for the music score and Mercury Prize Award nominated singer-songwriter RAYE.

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. 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”.

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”.

Dominic Walker, Global Business Director at BBC Studios said: “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.”
