The Music of Tim Burton, Danny Elfman and Beyond comes to indigo at The O2 tonight, Tuesday 13 October 2026, with doors at 18:30 and a chamber orchestra concert by The Great British Film Orchestra. The programme spans Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Wednesday, making it one of the first big Halloween-season nights in London, The WP Times reports.
indigo at The O2 is the smaller, 2,750-capacity venue inside the O2 complex, next to the main arena, which gives the show a more intimate feel than an arena concert. The venue warns that the production includes bright flashing lights, intense visual effects and moments of heightened volume.

Is it suitable for children?
The O2 has not published an age restriction for the show. Much of the music comes from family films, but the effects and volume may be too intense for young children; ear defenders are a sensible idea for under-10s.
Dress-up and Halloween
Fancy dress is not required, but Burton-themed costumes are common at these concerts. Masks covering the face and props resembling weapons may be refused at security, so keep costumes simple.
