Colonel Chris Hadfield, a celebrated Canadian astronaut, is set to make a much-anticipated return to Australia in July 2025. Renowned for his remarkable contributions to space exploration, Hadfield will embark on a national tour, captivating audiences with his unique insights and experiences from beyond our atmosphere.
The tour, titled “Chris Hadfield’s Guide to the Cosmos,” promises to offer attendees an awe-inspiring exploration of discovery through never-before-seen space imagery of Earth, the Moon, Mars, and more. With scheduled events across major cities including Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide, the tour will combine an array of personal anecdotes, advanced space technology insights, and a showcase of Hadfield’s musical talent.
Pre-sales have kicked off this week, with all tickets on sale on Thursday February 20th.
Hadfield, whose career includes serving as a spaceship commander and becoming the first Canadian to walk in space, has flown on three spaceflights. Some of his notable missions include facilitating the docking of the Space Shuttle Atlantis with the Mir space station and installing the Canadarm2—a robotic system—on the International Space Station (ISS) during his time on STS-100.
Beyond his space exploration achievements, Hadfield has also made a name for himself as a best-selling author and a motivational speaker, engaging audiences worldwide with his narratives and insights. He aims to continue this engagement through his upcoming tour.
“Join me for my Journey to the Cosmos Tour, where we’ll explore the wonders of space, share stories from my time as an astronaut, and connect through music and conversation,” Hadfield shared. He continued, “I’ll present never-before-seen space imagery of Earth, the Moon, Mars, and more. Drawing from my three spaceflights, I’ll share gripping personal stories, moments of joy and great danger, insights into cutting-edge space technologies, and my unique perspective on where we are in human history. I look forward to sharing my stories with Australian fans of all ages!”
Chris Hadfield’s influence extends beyond his space missions; he is known for his ability to convey the complexities of space in an accessible and exciting way. His contributions have been vital in inspiring a new generation of scientists, engineers, and ordinary people fascinated by the cosmos.
