Film screenings with live orchestras have become increasingly popular over the years, and Joker is getting in on the action. Deadline reports that Todd Phillips’ Oscar-nominated film is set to kick off a concert tour in London on April 30th.

The tour is set to run in Europe through July and is expected to expand internationally beyond that. Jeff Atmajian, who conducted the original soundtrack for the film, will conduct the London debut. Further dates beyond the London kickoff have yet to be announced.

“I’m thrilled to get to see and hear Joker in the cinema with a live orchestra,” said Joker composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, who is nominated for Best Score at the Academy Awards. “When we recorded the music, the orchestra brought such depth and detailed attention to the performances that we were all literally holding our breaths during most of the recording sessions. It was a beautiful trip. I’m so happy to get to go there again and for an audience to experience that too.”
