Astronaut Chris Hadfield has announced that he will bring his live show to Dublin. The famous spaceman will land at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre on Sunday, June 25 2023.

On Earth And Space – Chris Hadfield’s Guide To The Cosmos will see the Canadian astronaut and former commander of the International Space Station share his thoughts on the new age of space travel and what it will mean for life on Earth.

The show will feature multimedia imagery and music to bring these stories to life, and will celebrate the best of human achievement and optimism.

Chris will engage with the audience plenty with a Q&A. He said of the UK and Ireland tour: "I love the UK and Ireland, so to be coming back and sharing my experiences once again is very exciting.

"We'll be talking about the latest discoveries and featuring the mind-blowing images recently captured by the James Webb telescope, and space fans will have the chance to ask questions about the amazing worlds out there."

The multi-talented spaceman also has a deep love of Irish music and has performed with The Chieftains several times.
