Professor Brian Cox announces return to Northern Ireland with number of local theatre shows

Professor Brian Cox is coming back to Northern Ireland after announcing a number of tour dates across the country next year.

Having set two Guinness World Records with his previous sell-out world tour, the acclaimed professor Brian is taking to regional theatres to see off the sellout arena tour Horizons.

He will take the dazzling show to Belfast, Derry, Armagh and Coleraine in January 2024, with tickets going on sale from Ticketmaster.ie on Friday, May 12 at 10am.

Horizons has taken over 250,000 people across three continents on a dazzling journey; a story of how we came to be and what we can become.

Using state-of-the-art screen technology, venues across the world from New Zealand to the Arctic Circle have been filled with images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes and the latest theories of the origin of the Universe.

What is the nature of space and time? How did life begin, how rare might it be and what is the significance of life in the Cosmos? What does it mean to live a small, finite life in a vast, eternal Universe?

Having travelled the world, it’s now time to bring Horizons back home to the UK for a final journey around our magnificent and baffling Universe.

Horizons is a celebration of our civilisation, of our music, art, philosophy and science; an optimistic vision of our future if we continue to explore Nature with humility and to value ourselves and our fellow human beings.
