Prepare to see the cosmos in a new light
HAVING set two Guinness World Record titles with his previous sell-out live tour, Professor Brian Cox is heading back out on the road with a brand new show - and he’ll be stopping off at Nottingham and Derby.
The particle physicist and former D: Ream keyboard player will be at the Motorpoint Arena on Friday, February 22, 2019 and at Derby Arena on Thursday, February 7.
No stranger to the arena, Cox promises to take audiences to the edge of our current understanding about the origin and evolution of our solar system and the universe, offering insights into the workings of nature at the most fundamental level.
The TV star will once again be joined by co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning comedian Robin Ince to oversee an audience Q&A, giving fans the chance to ask any question they have.
“I love talking about astronomy and cosmology in very large venues that usually only host rock bands,” says Cox of his previous arena tour.
“The great advantage was the ability to use vast, state-of-the-art screens to display images of the cosmos as we’ve never seen them before. Thirty metre wide images from the Hobble Space Telescope are certainly something to behold.
“On this new tour, I’m going to go a step further with the technology… I hope it’ll offer people a completely new perspective on our place in the universe.”
The first-ever Professor Brian Cox Live tour was seen by over 150,000 people around the UK and Ireland, including a sell-out show at Wembley Arena.
