He describes it as ‘the most ambitious show I’ve ever written’
After performing his smash-hit show ‘Horizons’ to nearly half a million people across the world, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new world tour Emergence – and he is bringing it to Hull. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programs for BBC radio and television over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning ‘Wonders of the Solar System’ to the world-wide hit series ’The Planets’.
Audiences can see Professor Brian Cox’s new show Emergence at Connexin Live, Hull on Saturday, October 31 2026. Brian 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, film makers 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.”

Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe – the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web – to Earth’s interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain – from black holes to snowflakes – we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity.
