The former keyboard player turned professor of physics and a television presenter will bring his shows to Belfast's SSE Arena on Friday 15 February and Dublin's 3Arena on Saturday, 16 February.
Cox is one of the world's leading physicists and has presented several radio and television programmes and written several books on various scientific areas including astronomy and cosmology.
His live stage show will aim to teach audiences about the universe in a straightforward and entertaining way. The new show sees Professor Cox chatting about man's origin, and the evolution of the solar system and the universe.
Professor Brian Cox is no stranger to these parts from his days when gigging here with D:Ream, the Northern Ireland pop band. They actually enjoyed a number one UK hit all the way back in 1994 with 'Things Can Only Get Better'.
