For the first time ever in the UK, the iconic 1984 sci-fi thriller The Terminator will be brought to life in concert, with its legendary score performed live alongside a screening of the film.
The Terminator Live tour will run for four dates in 2025, making stops in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London.
The event will feature Brad Fiedel’s distinctive and percussive synthesiser-led score performed live by the renowned Avex Ensemble, synchronised to the film as it plays on a massive HD screen. This new cinematic experience promises to immerse audiences in The Terminator’s relentless action and suspense in an unprecedented way.
The tour begins at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on 27 October before moving to Manchester’s O2 Apollo on 28 October and Birmingham Symphony Hall on 29 October. It will conclude at London’s Eventim Apollo on 2 November 2025.
Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at AEG Presents, expressed excitement about the event: “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.”
Directed by James Cameron, The Terminator is widely regarded as his breakthrough film, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger in his career-defining role as the relentless cyborg assassin. The story follows Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son is destined to lead humanity’s fight against the machines in a dystopian future. The film was both a critical and commercial success, praised for its high-energy storytelling and innovative special effects.
