Professor Brian Cox brings his ambitious live science show 'Emergence', with cosmology, biology, philosophy and history on large LED screens, to Connexin Live.
Professor Brian Cox brings his new live show, Emergence, to Connexin Live in Hull on Saturday 31 October 2026. It's his first tour since Horizons, which he took to nearly half a million people around the world, and he's described Emergence as the most ambitious live show he's ever written.
If you've followed his work on the BBC, you'll recognise the territory. Over the last 15 years he's fronted a string of landmark science programmes, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to the worldwide hit The Planets, and this tour follows that same thread. The show was built in collaboration with scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists, weaving together cosmology, biology, philosophy and history and projecting them onto some of the largest and most advanced LED screens available.
It's a big production, so the visual side is a good chunk of the draw. The screens are a central part of how the show works, and the collaboration with musicians and filmmakers means it's as much about the presentation as it is about the science. The mix of cosmology, biology, philosophy and history suggests it'll cover a fair bit of ground, from the origins of the universe down to the more human side of things.
