The classic film will be screened in full at Wembley Arena, with the BBC Concert Orchestra performing with conductor, John Mauceri.
Fans can expect to hear the likes of “This Is Halloween”, “What’s This?” and “Oogie Boogie’s Song” from the beloved soundtrack.
Released in 1993, the film follows Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town who stumbles upon a portal to Christmas Town and decides he wants to host Christmas.
Since its release, the film has gone on to become a cult favourite that fans watch every Halloween and Christmas to get into the festive spirit.
The role of Sally has previously been taken on by Billie Eilish, who joined Elfman and a live orchestra in 2021 to perform as Sally, while the role was originated by Catherine O’Hara.
