Skynet fans rejoice! The Terminator is touring the UK. Specifically, a live concert of the 1984 classic’s score will be performed in sync with the film itself on a huge high-definition screen.
The groundbreaking score, originally created by the incredibly talented and prolific composer Brad Fiedel, will be performed by the Avex Assemble, who have previously produced shows involving the Avatar and Blade Runner soundtracks, so they are no strangers to director James Cameron’s work.
The tour starts in Glasgow at the SEC Armadillo on 27th October, then travels to Manchester’s O2 Apollo on 28th October and Birmingham Symphony Hall on 29th October, before its finale at London’s Eventim Apollo on 2nd November.
Terminator is considered to be director James Cameron’s big break and is about a time-travelling cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) tasked with murdering a waitress called Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in order to secure the future for an insane artificial intelligence called Skynet. It is noted for its powerful visual effects and soundtrack.
Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at AEG Presents, told the press, “We are absolutely thrilled to bring The Terminator Live to the UK for the first time! This is not just a screening, it’s a full-throttle, pulse-pounding cinematic experience, with the legendary Avex Ensemble performing Brad Fiedel’s iconic score live as the action unfolds.”
“From the haunting synth melodies to the explosive, relentless beats of the taiko drums, this is The Terminator like you’ve never heard, or felt, before. Fans of the film, sci-fi lovers, and live music enthusiasts alike, get ready for an unforgettable night.”
