Planet Earth II Live in Concert, from BBC Studios and the acclaimed BBC Natural History Unit that created TV sensations, Blue Planet II and Dynasties, has announced a UK & Ireland arena tour for Spring 2020 rescheduled.

There will be Music by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea & Jasha Klebe for Bleeding Fingers Music in City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Conducted by Matthew Freeman. It will be hosted by Liz Bonnin.

Barry Campbell, UK promoter from FKP Scorpio commented, ‘Due to the continuing uncertainty around indoor arena mass gatherings, we felt it was necessary to move our Planet Earth II Live In Concert tour once again to March 2022. We make these changes with a heavy heart but it is very important to us that the public should feel safe and be able to attend the shows without any safety worries. We promise it will be a fantastic tour well worth waiting for and thank all ticket purchasers for their patience and understanding in these most difficult times.’

ZIMMER SAID, ‘PLANET EARTH II IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS I’VE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN: SOME OF THE GREATEST ACTION SCENES EVER PUT ON FILM, SOME OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL, EPIC, FRAGILE SCENES I’VE EVER WITNESSED. FILMMAKING AT ITS ABSOLUTE PEAK.’

With her recent landmark BBC One documentary Drowning in Plastic, Liz investigated the ocean plastic crisis, with her hard-hitting environmental reporting raising the level of public debate on this important topic. Liz also regularly speaks at and hosts science and natural history events across the country, including the National Science + Engineering Competition, the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards, New Scientist Live, and Blue Dot Festival.

Looking ahead to the tour, Liz said, ‘I am so honored to have the role of host on the Planet Earth II Live in Concert arena tour. The TV series included some absolutely breathtaking sequences – who can ever forget the marine iguana fighting for its life as it escaped those racer snakes? I will be just as thrilled as the audience to relive such magnificent scenes on the giant screen, accompanied by a spectacular 80-piece orchestra – it will certainly be an experience to remember!’

Mat Way, Global Director, Live Entertainment, BBC Studios, said, ‘After the very successful Blue Planet II tour we are delighted to partner with FKP Scorpio once again and bring Planet Earth II Live In Concert to the UK & Irish arenas, an incredible production bringing the BBC’s groundbreaking footage to the stage for fans to enjoy.’
