20th-year orchestral celebration of Avatar: The Last Airbender in York
A live orchestra concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to York. Nickelodeon, GEA Live, and Senbla have announced that the Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert – 20th Anniversary Tour will be touring the UK next year. The York Barbican will host the show on October 8, 2026. The two-hour performance will feature a live orchestra playing the show's musical score in sync with visual highlights - and favourite moments from all three seasons of the series - projected onto a screen. The original dialogue and sound effects will be preserved, with the recorded score replaced by the live orchestra, interpreting the music of Emmy Award-winning composer, Jeremy Zuckerman. To celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, new original digital content across the Paramount ecosystem, "one-of-a-kind experiences," and new consumer products and games have been announced. The series, which debuted on February 21, 2005, has become a global phenomenon, spawning a spinoff series, several book series, and an upcoming theatrical film. Pam Kaufman, president and CEO of international markets, global consumer products, and experiences at Paramount, said: "Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert marks the 20th anniversary of this franchise in a way that joyfully celebrates the connection fans have with the original series. "We are thrilled to be able to bring this experience to new cities worldwide, with some fun surprises in store for concert attendees." Floris Douwes, producer and managing director at GEA Live, and Ollie Rosenblatt, CEO of Senbla, said: "We're proud to be part of the global celebration of Avatar: The Last Airbender's 20th anniversary. "Since the concert launched in 2024, the tour has played over 200 shows and sold 400,000 tickets worldwide, which is a rare milestone that reflects just how deeply this series continues to resonate with fans of all ages." Composer Jeremy Zuckerman said: "When I started work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, it was a dream to have the music performed by an orchestra. "Now, over 20 years later, with the concert tour, that dream has come true in a way I never could have imagined. "It's profound for me to see the Avatar community of fans — so wonderfully diverse — come together to celebrate the show through its music. "The atmosphere of joy at the concerts is unlike anything I've ever experienced. "I'm elated that more people will continue to share in it." For more information, please visit
