Jim Henson’s original masterpiece and musical fantasy film Labyrinth is set to tour the UK in concert in celebration of its 40th anniversary – and it’s coming to York.
Starring the iconic David Bowie, fans will be transported to Goblin City in an exciting fusion of film and live music on stage with Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert at York Barbican on Monday 27 April 2026.
Audiences are invited to experience an epic evening as the movie is presented on a large HD cinema screen. On stage, a live band will perform in sync with Bowie’s original vocals, playing the songs and the score from the soundtrack composed by Bowie and Trevor Jones.
Tickets are now on sale and available via the York Barbican website.
Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert producer Black Ink Presents, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, has brought extensive iconic films to life with symphonies, orchestras, or bands live on stage – including Batman, Ghostbusters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rocketman, La La Land, and more.
“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,” said John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents.
“Getting to hear Bowie’s vocals with a live band while watching the film is sure to give every Labyrinth fan goosebumps.”
Starring Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, as well as scores of goblins and creatures from the renowned Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the film features a soundtrack of unique and memorable melodies, with Bowie’s original songs like ‘Magic Dance’, ‘Underground’ and ‘As the World Falls Down’, along with Jones’ orchestral score.
