Following the incredible success of the BAFTA award-winning BBC One television series Blue Planet II, presented by Sir David Attenborough, BBC Studios, and FKP Scorpio have announced a 13 date UK & Ireland live tour.

Blue Planet II – Live In Concert – will present a selection of stunning visuals from the television series, highlighting the natural wonders of our blue planet, projected on a state of the art 200 square metre 4K Ultra HD LED screen. Accompanied by the original immersive music score by Bleeding Fingers Music, the concert will be performed live by a full symphony orchestra.

During the four-year filming of Blue Planet II, the teams embarked on 125 expeditions, travelled to 39 countries, filmed on all continents and in every ocean. They spent 6,000 hours deep-sea diving, 1,000 of which were on underwater boats.

With the help of groundbreaking advancements in research and technology, the BBC One landmark series has not only presented the viewer with spectacular film but raised awareness of how fragile our planet and environment has become from plastic contaminants.

It has demonstrated the power of television to be impactful and the live concert adaptation is set to be an extension of that striking visual and environmental narrative.

"We are delighted to partner with FKP Scorpio for Blue Planet II Live in Concert. It is an incredible concept bringing the BBC’s groundbreaking footage from a BAFTA award-winning series to the arena stage for fans to enjoy," Mat Way, Global Director for Live Entertainment at BBC Studios, said of the tour.

Blue Planet II: Live in Concert takes itself in 2019 to Belfast's SSE Arena on Saturday, March 23 and to the 3Arena, Dublin on Sunday, March 24.

Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, June 8 at 10.00am from all usual Ticketmaster outlets.
