A full orchestra rendition of the seasonal romcom soundtrack will be coming back to Glasgow this Christmas.
Since its release in 2003, Love Actually has become a revelation and synonymous for so many with the festive period.
Fans of the blockbuster will once again be able to enjoy a full orchestra performing its soundtrack live to pictures after the pandemic hiatus, in what is becoming an annual highlight of the holiday calendar.

The tour will begin at the Bath Forum on 2nd December, before calling at Poole, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield, York, Hull, London’s Eventim Apollo, Nottingham, Manchester, and Liverpool before finishing in Birmingham.
Love Actually In Concert has garnered sold out audiences in previous years, with the Shropshire Star describing it as ‘… a wonderfully-magical night that really got everyone into the Christmas spirit’.
The Nottingham Post commented the performance was ‘Funny, heart-wrenching and downright cheeky, on occasion the musicians do not just provide the background noise but all have their moments to shine.’
Directed by Richard Curtis, Love Actually tells ten separate yet interweaving stories of love around Christmas time, featuring 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.
