Professor Brian Cox to bring his Emergence live show to Dublin and Belfast

Professor Brian Cox has announced that he would take his Emergence show to Belfast's SSE Arena on November 13 and Dublin’s 3Arena on November 14, 2026.

Emergence is the follow up to his smash-hit show Horizons, which he performed to nearly half a million people across the world, and is described as “a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it.”

Commenting on the new show, Cox said: “I’ve loved creating Emergence - it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find.

“I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about.”

Over the last 15 years, Cox has appeared in many landmark science programmes for BBC radio and television, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to the world-wide hit series The Planets.
