The concert series will be hosted by executive producer Elizabeth White, who is set to discuss the filmmaking and stories behind the new chapter. The score, composed by Hans Zimmer with Thom Lukas and Laurentia Editha of Bleeding Fingers Music, will be played by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Footage will appear on a tennis court-sized Ultra HD LED screen.

The original Blue Planet debuted 25 years ago, while Blue Planet 2 became the UK's most-watched programme of 2017. Earlier this month, former Little Mix member JADE was confirmed to have collaborated with Zimmer on a track for the new series. Tickets for Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow go on sale Friday, with a London date still to be announced.
