Following a sell-out run for Secret Cinema last year, Back to the Future live is heading to the iconic venue the Royal Albert Hall in July for two shows which will have a concert orchestra perform the fantastic Alan Silvestri movie score while you watch.

Not only that but Silvestri has also said that he’ll be penning around 15 minutes of new material for the show which has us rather excited!!

Here’s what Royal Albert Hall Director of events Lucy Noble said in the press release which is placed below in full:

Like Marty McFly, we’ll be going 30 years back in time this July, as Back to the Future makes its bow at the Royal Albert Hall.

We can’t wait to get our flux capacitors powered up for the show and, amazingly, Alan Silvestri has agreed to pen around 15 minutes’ worth of new music especially for the show.

Back to the Future is one of our favourites here at HeyUGuys, so much so this very site almost had a BTTF themed name but in the end, The Goonies won through!

Tickets have gone on sale  here priced between £28 and £68.80.

We know you’ll be hugely excited about this one, make sure to click this way and book your tickets as they’ll no doubt be selling out quick!

Here’s the trailer from a few years ago when the film came back into cinemas.

Royal Albert Hall to go Back to the Future for movie’s 30th birthday

Set the clock to 4 July and power your DeLorean up to 88mph – Back to the Future is coming to the Royal Albert Hall for its 30th birthday, as its unforgettable score is played live and in full by a concert orchestra.

The UK premiere of Back to the Future Live in Concert will also include a very special treat for fans of the beloved time-travel film: around 15 minutes of new music written especially by original composer Alan Silvestri.

When it was first released in July 1985, Back to the Future was a sensation: a riotous mix of sci-fi, comedy and romance that wowed moviegoers and critics alike, making a star of Michael J. Fox – as hero Marty McFly – and receiving plaudits for its triumphant score, which was nominated for a Grammy.

Now, 30 years on, it makes its Royal Albert Hall debut, bringing its unique blend of skateboard stunts, guitar solos, aggressive Libyans, oedipal romance, knockout punches, DeLorean-based time travel and general unparalleled brilliance to the Hall’s famous 5,500-capacity auditorium.

Lucy Noble, Director of Events at the Royal Albert Hall, said: “Like Marty McFly, we’ll be going 30 years back in time this July, as Back to the Future makes its bow at the Royal Albert Hall.

“We can’t wait to get our flux capacitors powered up for the show and, amazingly, Alan Silvestri has agreed to pen around 15 minutes’ worth of new music especially for the show.”

Back to the Future remains one of the most popular and influential films of the 1980s, telling the story of time-travelling teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), who winds up in 1955 and has to save the budding courtship of his own parents… while inventing rock ‘n’ roll.

A box-office smash, it was also named as one of the American Film Institute’s top 10 sci-fi films ever, and one of the best 25 films of all-time by IMDb users and readers of Empire Magazine.

Other films-with-live-score coming to the legendary venue this year include the world premiere of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, boasting Henry Mancini’s Oscar-winning score, the first ever performance of Titanic Live – conducted by composer James Horner  – and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, with music by Danny Elfman.

Rounding out the programme will be a reprisal of The Godfather Live, which sold out months before its premiere in December last year.
