This will be incredible.

Fresh from the news that he has another documentary series that’s set to be released this year, fans of Blue Planet and David Attenborough’s superb work will be very happy to know that Blue Planet II – Live In Concert – will be returning to Ireland.

The highly anticipated arena tour from the BAFTA Award winning television series launches on 12 February and it includes concerts in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium, before a 13-date UK & Ireland arena tour in March 2019 which will include The SSE Arena Belfast Saturday (23 March) and the 3Arena in Dublin on Sunday 24 March 2019.

Prices for the 3Arena start at €68 while tickets for the The SSE Arena start from £38.

The concert will take highlight sequences from across the series, each introduced by host Anita Rani live on stage, supported by the emotive orchestral accompaniment of the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra who will be performing Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and David Fleming’s immersive score, conducted by Matthew Freeman.

Blue Planet II – Live In Concert will incorporate gigantic 4K Ultra HD LED screen and through the power of music, those in attendance will be transported deep underwater for two hours of drama, entertainment, stunning visuals and majestic orchestrations.

During the performance, concertgoers can see surfing dolphins, powerful killer whales and the beautiful clownfish in breathtaking musical sequences.

The dramatic music brings the oceans to life as the audience are immersed in an emotional journey of glorious beauty, nail-biting tension, tranquil relaxation and profound questioning of how human action is affecting our marine families.
