Brian Cox An Evening of Scientific Phenomena

Brian Cox is a phenomenon.

He is the UK’s, and perhaps the world’s, foremost communicator of all things scientific. His TV programs are ground breaking – he has the innate ability to make highly complex matters enormously entertaining and easy to contemplate. He’s the former rock star of the hit band D:Ream, who scored a UK No. 1 in 1994 with the song Things Can Only Get Better.

His live events are a wonderment of an entire new genre - his experiments, audience interactivity, stunning visuals and totally engaging manner leaves audiences enraptured, engaged, informed and perhaps besotted by him.

Brian Cox is the author of Wonders of the Solar System, Wonders of the Universe & Wonders of Life (Harper Collins), Why Does E=mc2 (Da Capo) and Quantum Universe (Penguin).

Brian Cox – An Evening of Scientific Phenomena will be a stage presentation hosted by special guest Adam Spencer.

When: Fri 16 August 2013 - at 8pm
Where: Capitol Theatre ~ 13 Campbell Street, Haymarket NSW 2000 Australia

Vans Warped Tour Australia 2013 Dates Announced

Using the most professional and cheapest method of communication, the promoter dropped the dates via his Twitter account this morning.

The venue details and artist lineup have yet to be revealed, but that’s expected to come in the next few months.

Splendour In The Grass sells out in under an hour

AJ recently revealed his excitement at working with Warped Tour founder, saying “Kevin Lyman IS warped and always the man to thank. I’m just privileged to assist him…

Warped is about mayhem & DIY punk rock spirit. [Soundwave] is about delivering a slick & orchestrated day of performances.”

It will be the first Australian leg for the Vans Warped Tour in more than a decade and we can’t wait to see what it brings to our shores.


First launched in 1995, three years later in January 1998 the festival first made its way to Australia with a lineup that featured Pennywise, Frenzal Rhomb, Blink 182, The Living End, Bodyjar and more. Warped hasn’t been back here since 2002.

Maddah hasn’t dropped any hints about the lineup yet, but did confirm that the Vans Warped Tour won’t have any sideshows.
