Professor Brian Cox: Emergence

Brisbane Entertainment Centre

Updated: Oct 09, 2025

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, coming to Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Saturday May 30, 2026.

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

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 ofdazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity.

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.”

A Jaw-dropping reminder that human life is both irrelevant and hugely precious.’**** The Guardian
