Brian Cox brings brand new show to Liverpool

After captivating nearly half a million people worldwide with his acclaimed live production Horizons, Professor Brian Cox returns to the stage with his most ambitious live experience yet, Emergence.

Brian Cox brings Emergence exclusively to Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Friday 16^th October 2026.

Over the last 15 years, Professor Cox has become one of the most recognisable voices in science, presenting landmark BBC programmes including the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System and the global hit series The Planets. Now, with Emergence, he continues to push the boundaries of live science performance.

Professor Brian 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.”

Emergence promises a breathtaking fusion of cutting-edge visuals, immersive soundscapes, and mind-expanding science, inviting audiences to explore the wonders of the universe and humanity’s place within it.

Presale tickets are available now and general tickets go on sale from 10am on Friday 3^rd October.
