Action-packed wildlife adventure show with Steve Backshall, based on the popular CBBC show, returning for the autumn half-term.
Steve Backshall brings Deadly Live! to Utilita Arena Sheffield on Friday 23 October, part of a UK tour that puts him back on stage for the autumn half-term. If you've followed the CBBC series, you'll know the premise: Backshall tracks down some of the world's most formidable predators across land, sea and sky. The live show takes that and runs with it, bringing the animals and the action into the arena.
It's not just a talk about wildlife. The set covers big cats, birds of prey, snakes, and even Dinomania dinosaurs, with Backshall mixing in daring stunts, experiments and a good bit of science along the way. It's built around the same energy as the TV show, so it's the kind of thing that works best with a younger crowd in tow, especially over the half-term break.
Sheffield is one of several stops on this run. The show returns for the autumn following a popular 2025 tour, and the wider UK tour includes dates at Stockton Globe, Wembley OVO Arena, Nottingham Motorpoint Arena, Liverpool M&S Bank Arena and Leeds First Direct Bank Arena. If you're in the region, it's one of a few chances to catch it.

On the practical side, the show starts at 17:00 at Utilita Arena Sheffield on Broughton Lane, S9 2DF. If you're driving, the venue has nearly 1,000 on-site cashless parking spaces across Car Parks A and B, so you don't have to hunt for a spot on the night.
