The tour will include a show at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on Wednesday, April 29 2026.
Other UK dates include stops in Glasgow, Birmingham, and Liverpool,
John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents, said: “I have always been a huge fan of the groundbreaking collaboration of Jim Henson, George Lucas, David Bowie, and Trevor Jones on this film, and bringing it to fans in a live concert screening experience is a dream come true.
“Getting to hear Bowie’s vocals with a live band while watching the film is sure to give every Labyrinth fan goosebumps.”
The film will be shown on a large HD screen while a live band performs the full score, including original songs by David Bowie and music composed by Trevor Jones.
Labyrinth, which was released in cinemas on June 27, 1986, has developed a loyal cult following over the past four decades.
Nicole Goldman, executive vice president of branding for The Jim Henson Company, said: “It’s always incredible when the amazing fans of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth come together to watch (and rewatch!) this beloved fantasy adventure.
“With ‘Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert,’ we are welcoming loyal and new fans to the world of the Goblin King, and celebrating the incredible music of David Bowie and Trevor Jones in a whole new way. It is certain to be a ‘Magic Dance!'”
