Acclaimed Astronaut Chris Hadfield to bring tour about the Artemis Era and the dawn of a new space age to Belfast

Earlier this month the Artemis II mission captured the attention of the world, as astronauts travelled the furthest in space anyone has ever been.

With space travel on the forefront of the public mind, acclaimed astronaut Chris Hadfield returns to the UK and Ireland with a brand new tour that guides audiences through the Artemis missions and the future of space exploration.

Chris Hadfield: Exploring the New Space Age provides a gripping in-depth look at the rapidly changing world of space innovation, touching on everything from lunar missions to satellite mega-constellations and the $2 trillion space economy, setting the scene for the Artemis missions.

The tour comes to Belfast's Waterfront Hall on 19th June.

Audiences can expect awe-inspiring visuals, rare behind-the-scenes insights and personal stories from Chris’s time in space.

On the tour, Chris says:

"I am so excited to bring my new show to the UK and Ireland. The Artemis 2 mission around the Moon has rekindled the fire of exploration, and the latest space technology is opening possibilities at the very edge of imagination. It will be a memorable evening of ideas, personal insights, and inspiration – don't miss it!"

Having completed three spaceflights, commanded the International Space Station, and worked with the likes of NASA and Virgin Galactic, Chris is perfectly placed to take audiences on a journey through the current space .

He is also well-known for his viral performance of David Bowie’s  ‘Space Oddity’ that was filmed on board the International Space Station.
