We’re excited for this!

What would Christmas be without Love Actually?

The seasonal romcom has become a revelation and synonymous for so many with the festive period.

And guess what? It will tour to Ireland and the UK this December with a full orchestra performing its soundtrack live.

How good does that sound?

Kicking off the holiday season and getting many into the spirit, the Love Actually Live Concert Tour will visit Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on 4th December.

Tickets for this date go on sale this Wednesday 13th February at 9am.

We know, it’s February, but this is sure to be a sell-out – so we suggest you snap up tickets while you can.

Directed by Richard Curtis and originally released in cinemas in 2003, Love Actually tells ten separate yet interweaving stories of love around Christmas time.

The film features an all-star ensemble cast, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley Rowan Atkinson, Martin Freeman, and many more.

A full, live orchestra will perform Craig Armstrong’s evocative score at these shows, with the film being projected onto a huge screen.

Armstrong is one of the UK’s most recognised film composers, with his work being awarded a BAFTA for his Achievement in Film Music.

With the film becoming a Christmas tradition for many, audiences attending the Love Actually Live Concert Tour will be treated to a unique way to watch the film that has gotten so many into the holiday spirit for the last 15 years.

We’re already counting down the days.
