Superstar astronaut – and some-time musician – Chris Hadfield is jetting back to the UK and Ireland with a new and exclusive tour for 2023, heading to the West End.
On Earth And Space – Chris Hadfield’s Guide To The Cosmos will see the Canadian astronaut and former commander of the International Space Station share his thoughts on the new age of space travel and what it will mean for life on Earth.
The first Canadian to walk in space, Chris came to attention during his time on the ISS, when he recorded a version of David Bowie’s hit Space Oddity on board, and through documenting his journey via social media.
The tour visits the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Tuesday, June 20, with tickets on general sale from 10am on Friday September 30 from www.fane.co.uk/chris-hadfield To gain access to pre-sale sign up here: https://www.fane.co.uk/friends-of-fane
During these unique live events, Chris Hadfield will share unheard tales of space voyages and human exploration for all ages, as seen through his eyes as an astronaut – using multimedia imagery and music to bring these stories to life.
Chris will celebrate the best of human achievement and optimism, engaging the audience in a Q&A, and share his unique view of our world from a true space explorer’s perspective.
Announcing his latest tour, Chris Hadfield said: “I love the UK and Ireland, so to be coming back and sharing my experiences once again is very exciting.
“We’ll be talking about the latest discoveries and featuring the mind-blowing images recently captured by the James Webb telescope, and space fans will have the chance to ask questions about the amazing worlds out there.”
Chris Hadfield previously toured the UK in 2017 and 2018 – including the Royal Albert Hall’s inaugural Festival Of Science, where he joined comedian Robin Ince for the all-star Space Shambles show.
A former fighter pilot and Top Test Pilot in both the US Air Force and US Navy, Chris became a Canadian icon in 2013 when he captivated the world from the ISS – documenting his journey and daily life on board.
His famous cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity has been watched by hundreds of millions of people – and according to NASA was the first music video made in space. On returning to Earth, he released the album Space Sessions: Songs From A Tin Can.
Since retiring in 2013, Chris has written four international best sellers – An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth, You Are Here, and The Darkest Dark, and his new thriller novel, The Apollo Murders.
Fifty exclusive meet and greet tickets are also available for each date on the tour with 10% of tickets including a signed hardback copy of The Apollo Murders.
