Roll up, roll up – the circus is coming to town. Later this month, Bristol will welcome the bright lights and electrifying energy of Circus Vegas as the show continues to make its way around the country on its 2024 UK tour.
In the city from September 27 to October 20, 2024, the mesmerising production promises an array of breathtaking acts that challenge gravity, defy logic, and leave spectators in sheer awe.
This year, Circus Vegas is celebrating an impressive 255 years of captivating performances – and for the 2024 season, it is set to deliver an unforgettable experience with a special blend of talent from around the globe, all wrapped up in a Las Vegas-style extravaganza.
Combining traditional showmanship and flair with modern-day stunts and classic clown antics, visitors can expect a show brimming with high-octane performances that will keep guests of all ages on the edge of their seats.
Daredevil performances
Among the star attractions of the event will be Veera Kaijanen from Finland, whose low wire act showcases exceptional balance and skill, making it one of Europe’s finest aerial spectacles.
From Ukraine, the Didyk Troupe will also amaze with their daring acrobatic swing routines that seem to defy the very laws of physics.
But that’s not all; the Globe of Death stunt riding team will take the main stage during the show. In this nail-biting act, the riders will experience G-forces which are said to be similar to those felt by fighter pilots as they loop both vertically and horizontally inside a giant mesh sphere.
Adding to the excitement will be the Bellagio Warriors from Tanzania, who are set to dazzle circus lovers with their vibrant and energetic acrobatic displays – and are sure to rally large cheers from the crowd.
There will be something to send audiences into a fit of laughter too, as Eddy the Clown – a beloved figure in circus circles – will be keeping spirits high with his comedic antics throughout the production.
Additionally, families and friends visiting the circus can look forward to hula hooping, aerial feats, daredevil stunts, juggling acts, and a troupe of dancers – all performing with innovative twists.
With so much on offer, Circus Vegas promises something for everyone during the exciting event; it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience.
