About "Horizons"
World-renowned physicist Professor Brian Cox brings his immersive live experience, "Horizons: A 21st Century Space Odyssey," to North America.
"Horizons" takes us on a dazzling cinematic journey. A story of how we came to be and what we can become.
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. Using state-of-the-art LED screen technology, venues will be filled with images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes and a time before the Big Bang.
"Horizons" is a celebration of our civilization, 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. Brian will once again be joined by co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning comedian Robin Ince, perhaps the only collection of sentient atoms in the observable Universe capable of overseeing a Q&A with an audience of 10,000 people while wearing an old cardigan.
About Professor Brian Cox
Professor Brian Cox CBE is Professor of Particle Physics at The University of Manchester, The Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science and a Fellow of the Royal Society.
As a broadcaster, he has presented a number of highly acclaimed science programs for the BBC including Wonders of the Solar System, Forces of Nature, Stargazing Live and, in 2019, The Planets. He is credited with boosting the popularity of subjects such as astronomy and physics and has garnered a host of accolades for his TV work, including two Royal Television Society awards and a Peabody Award for Wonders of the Solar System.
Brian has also authored a series of best-selling books, including the widely acclaimed Human Universe. Brian broke his own Guinness World Record titles during his last live tour, Universal, for most tickets sold (158,589) for a science tour, and for most tickets sold for a science show (11,433 at The Arena in Birmingham in 2019).

The show was absolutely magnificent. A great combination of nerdy and British humour along with fascinating details about the universe. Brian is able to communicate complex topics in simple language. For me, his show is up there, if not better, than live performances I have seen by Lauren Hill, The Black Keys, and U2 (and their shows were phenomenal!)
The presentation was great as always but I was somewhat confused by the failure to follow your stated CoVid protocols. As demonstrated by the absence of ½ of the presenting duo, due to close contact quarantine, the pandemic is not over. Several of the communications I received from the venue stated that a proof of vaccination was required to enter yet when I arrived no one was checked. Very disappointing. Like Professor Cox (stated during the performance) I don't want CoVid either so I'll have to reassess the risk of any future attendance due to the failure of the Jube to have any form of Pandemic protections.
Very interesting show, Brian explains the universe and black holes to the regular person. Quite a moving show.
We have been fans of Professor Brian Cox for many years and have watched his programs on BBC Earth, Discovery, and Smithsonian channels. His vast knowledge and enthusiasm make him such an interesting person to listen to. His in person presentation, with the huge LED screen and photographs from the cosmos, was truly amazing! An excellent evening of learning and entertainment!
such a pleasure to see Dr Brian Cox in person. He explained Black Holes, the universe, and space/time with humour, in a language that was understandable to the non-scientists in the audience. He shared his excitement in new discoveries and excited us. I often watch him on TV - but this was the best presentation I have gone to in a long time.
An excellent lecture; full of Professor Brian Cox's excellent sense of humor and engaging style while explaining astrophysics and the relation to quantum mechanics all with great visuals, music and a little comedic interjection by Robin Innes could not make up for the unpleasant venue. Zero airflow and no mechanical ventilation up in the balcony, accompanied with mediocre seating, left us very uncomfortable (judging from the complaints of our neighbors we were not alone). The sound up there wasn't very good, either but we did have great sightlines. Friends seated on the floor did not report the same lack of ventilation, and said the sound was fine. (got to step up and get tickets early, night time!)
Brian Cox was amazing he blew my mind the tiny seats at the theatre blew my knees and back! I wish I could see it all over again as I lost out on the experience because of being in much distress physically. Overall though the parts I was able to focus on was educational, fun, and at times very funny I would recommend anyone under 5’7” going to see him at that location! Greg
I enjoyed every moment - did I understand all of it - no - but his passion - sense of humour - and realness has always inspired me Can hardly wait to see him again - I also enjoyed his partner ... wonderful sense of humour and realness - just wonderful - The crowd was good and the ambiance is wonderful Thanks so much
Informative and interesting speaker. Up to date on current scientific events, the visual show was amazing. Brian has a wonderful sense of humour, he had the theatre in stitches. The venue was perfect. Thanks to everyone for a great show.
