The Legend of Korra In Concert comes from the producers of global touring sensations Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert and Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert – The 20th Anniversary Tour, which together have sold more than a half million tickets across more than 25 countries, and established the franchise as one of the most successful live-to-film, animated concert tours in the world.
The new production invites fans to experience Korra's world through a live symphonic performance synchronized with HD projections of memorable scenes from the series in chronological order. The story’s dynamic action and emotional storytelling merge with a score featuring classical orchestration and jazz, electronic, and world music influences. Emmy® Award-winning composer Jeremy Zuckerman's genre-defying compositions reflect the series' more modern setting and complex themes. Fans will also have access to exclusive tour merchandise available only at tour venues.
“The music of The Legend of Korra explores a very different emotional and musical landscape than Avatar: The Last Airbender, blending orchestral, jazz, and electronic influences to reflect Korra’s more modern world,” says Zuckerman. “Hearing that score performed live brings a new level of energy to the music, and allows audiences to experience the story in a completely different way.”
“Seeing the global response to Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert has been incredibly rewarding. The connection audiences have with this music and these stories is something you can feel in the room,” says Floris Douwes, Producer and Managing Director at GEA Live and Ollie Rosenblatt, CEO at Senbla. “That experience made it clear there was a real appetite for more, and The Legend of Korra In Concert felt like the natural next step. There is strong crossover appeal with the Avatar franchise yet, it has its own tone and musical identity.”
“As the Avatar Legends universe continues to evolve, we’re focused on creating experiences that are as bold and immersive as the stories themselves,” says Marie Marks, SVP, Head of Global Experiences, Paramount. “The Legend of Korra In Concert invites fans to step inside Korra’s world through powerful live music, bringing the story off the screen and into a dynamic, unforgettable adventure for audiences around the world.”
Since its debut, The Legend of Korra has remained a favorite among fans of the Avatar Legends universe, expanding the franchise with new characters and deeper mythology. With global interest in the Avatar franchise reignited by Avatar Studios' upcoming animated projects — including Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender streaming on Paramount+ beginning July 25, and Avatar: Seven Havens — The Legend of Korra In Concert arrives in time to capture a new wave of excitement and nostalgia.
The Legend of Korra follows a powerful young hero who can control the elements, as she journeys to a bustling city to begin her airbending training and protect it from crime and growing rebellion. Set 70 years after Avatar: The Last Airbender, the action-packed series is available to stream on Paramount+.

The Legend of Korra launched in April 2012 on Nickelodeon and ran for four seasons (52 episodes). Created and executive produced by Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, The Legend of Korra is translated in more than 25 languages for Nickelodeon-branded channels internationally. The epic story of The Legend of Korra, set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender 70 years later, follows the journey of Avatar Korra, a 17-year-old girl striving to live up to the legacy of her predecessor Avatar Aang, while using her mastery of all four elements to confront political and spiritual unrest in a modernizing world.
The property has translated into a successful ongoing graphic novel series. The first graphic novel storyline, Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, written by DiMartino, captured various top 10 sales spots across children's fiction, YA science fiction, and graphic novel categories. In 2025, The Legend of Korra became the spotlight focus of Season 4 of the Signal Award-winning podcast Avatar: Braving the Elements.
