Professor Brian Cox returning to Derby Arena
Derby LIVE has announced that Professor Brian Cox will return to Derby Arena next year.
He will bring his new show, called Horizons, to the Pride Park venue on Thursday 28th October.
Horizons is a celebration of our civilisation, music, art, philosophy and science.
Using state of the art LED screen technology, the show takes audiences through a story of how we came to be and what we can become.
Derby Arena will be filled images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes and a time before the Big Bang.
The deepest of questions will be explored using the latest advances in our understanding of quantum theory, black holes, biology, planetary science, astronomy and cosmology.
Professor Cox is well known for presenting a number of highly-acclaimed science programmes for the BBC, including Wonders of the Solar System, Forces of Nature, Stargazing Live and The Planets.
Joining him once again to take part in this tour is co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning comedian, Robin Ince.
Professor Cox said: “I loved the 2019 arena tour because it gave me the opportunity to discuss the most profound ideas with tens of thousands of people in front of the most spectacular images of the universe.
“When the tour was over, I immediately started thinking about how I could delve deeper, tell an even more profound story and make the show even more spectacular.
“I’m very excited about what has emerged! I hope the evening will make people think about how fortunate and precious we are, how strange and wonderful our universe is and the limitless future we have to look forward to if we make the right choices over the coming decades.”
