The show will come to Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, as well as Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, London’s Eventim Apollo and the O2 Apollo in Manchester.
The announcement comes ahead of the concert’s sold-out world premiere in Scotland on May 30 and as the final season of Outlander airs on STARZ in the US and MGM+ in the UK.

"The music of “'Outlander' has achieved remarkable acclaim, led by McCreary, whose work also includes 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' and video game 'God of War'."
With seven successful soundtracks, the franchise has racked up around 500 million streams in 236 territories, with the iconic theme “Outlander – The Skye Boat Song” surpassing 49 million plays.
Producers say the Outlander soundtrack is now the best‑selling title in Sony Pictures Television’s entire catalogue, underlining the show’s cultural impact on screen and in music.
Based on Diana Gabaldon’s best‑selling novels, which have sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide, the TV franchise has also spawned prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which premiered last autumn and has already been renewed for a second season.
