The show, on April 26, will mark the European debut of Jones' collaboration with Oscar-winning costume and production designer Eiko Ishioka.

Designed to create a sensory and sonic utopia, the production features lasers and an array of set changes.

Meanwhile, Jones has also teamed up with light artist Chris Levine as part of a new art exhibition in London.

Entitled Stillness at the Speed of Light, the collection goes on show at The Vinyl Factory Gallery from April 29.
