“There aren’t many words that can truly describe the beauty of seeing Earth from space but Space Station Earth does this, using music and video, to capture the emotion of human spaceflight and exploration.” – Tim Peake

See through the eyes of an astronaut: ‘Space Station Earth’ is an immersive event which unites evocative, atmospheric and emotional music performed by a synth-pop band, an orchestra and a choir with huge screen, high-definition footage filmed by astronauts from the International Space Station. The show takes audiences on the profoundly moving journey of astronauts travelling to the space station – a journey that astronauts find hard to describe.

It’s presented through a visionary blend of music, science, and cinema. Many live events promise to offer something unique, but this truly does – an opportunity to capture the feeling of The Overview Effect: the profound awe astronauts feel when viewing the Earth from orbit. The ‘Space Station Earth’ concept was inspired by Ilan Eshkeri’s friendship with astronaut Tim Peake, who is a fan of his music and praised the show’s ability “to capture the emotion of human spaceflight and exploration.”

Ilan Eshkeri says, “Human spaceflight will be at the forefront of public consciousness in 2026, with the planned Artemis II mission taking humans back to the moon. This created the perfect opportunity to bring back ‘Space Station Earth’ to give audiences the opportunity to see through the eyes of an astronaut.”

‘Space Station Earth’ invites audiences to feel the wonder, fragility, and unity of our planet — bringing to life, through music and imagery, the awe of seeing Earth from space. Whether you are a space enthusiast, care about the planet, a concert goer, a cinema music fan, or an immersive experience seeker, this show will allow you to experience the planet as you’ve never seen it before.

Ilan Eshkeri’s ‘Space Station Earth’ is a genre-defying audio-visual experience which offers the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of an astronaut. A collaboration between the BAFTA and Emmy-nominated composer and the European Space Agency, ‘Space Station Earth’ is now set to embark upon a UK tour in 2026 after wowing audiences during a sold-out premiere at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2022. The live dates will kick off in Glasgow on 28^th May 2026 and will include London, Birmingham and Manchester.
