The Legend of Korra in Concert announces 2027 UK tour dates

Paramount, GEA Live, and Senbla have announced that The Legend of Korra in Concert will tour the United Kingdom and Europe starting in January 2027.

Following the massive ticket sales of the Avatar: The Last Airbender concert series, this new live-to-picture orchestral experience will hit major UK venues, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The tour is timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the acclaimed animated series’ original debut on Nickelodeon.

For the tabletop community, this is highly welcome news, specifically for fans deeply invested in Magpie Games’ Avatar Legends roleplaying game. As players continue to explore the politically complex, industrialised era of Republic City at the gaming table, they will now have the opportunity to experience its defining soundtrack live. Pre-sale tickets are scheduled to go live via Ticketmaster on Thursday, 28 May at 9 am, with general admission opening on Friday, 29 May at 9 am.

While the rapid turnaround for ticket sales might catch some fans off guard, especially given the complete absence of official pricing tiers in the initial announcement, the production promises a sprawling audiovisual event. The show synchronises a live symphonic performance with high-definition projections of memorable scenes from the four-season run. However, the producers have yet to confirm which specific orchestras or local ensembles will be performing the complex score during the UK dates.

The musical shift from the original series to The Legend of Korra is stark, abandoning purely traditional world music for 1920s-inspired jazz, electronic, and early modern cinematic orchestration. Emmy Award-winning composer Jeremy Zuckerman returns to the spotlight for this tour, having defined the auditory landscape of both eras of the franchise.

Jeremy Zuckerman, Emmy Award-winning composer for the series, said in a statement,

The music of The Legend of Korra explores a very different emotional and musical landscape than Avatar: The Last Airbender, blending orchestral, jazz, and electronic influences to reflect Korra’s more modern world. Hearing that score performed live brings a new level of energy to the music, and allows audiences to experience the story in a completely different way.”

The Scottish leg of the tour provides a notable highlight for audiophiles. Following dates at the Manchester Bridgewater Hall and Birmingham Symphony Hall, the production travels to Scotland for back-to-back shows. The performance on 3 February 2027 takes place at the Edinburgh Usher Hall, a venue world-renowned for its phenomenal acoustics, before heading west to the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on 4 February.

Set 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the series follows Avatar Korra as she navigates political unrest, spiritual crisis, and a rapidly changing world. With global interest in the franchise surging thanks to Netflix’s live-action adaptations and upcoming animated projects from Avatar Studios, this concert series appears poised to capture the same immense crowds as its predecessor.
