CIRCUS acts are the new rock and roll thanks to the unrivalled Cirque Du Soleil.

And what more fitting way to mark its huge status than to hold its first arena tour around the UK.

And one of the first ports of call for the circus extravaganza will be the Manchester Arena this October.

More than one million people have already seen the latest show, Delirium, on its American tour and now it's your chance. Featuring a wide range of holograms, virtual reality and multi-media sound, the show creates a magical world that incorporates the unique elements that make Cirque Du Soleil so famous.

Staged on a 130ft stand honeycombed with traps and flying rigs, actors can materialise from the depths or float across an illuminated sky.

Delirium comes to the MEN Arena on Monday and Tuesday, October 8 and 9. Tickets cost £45 and £55 and are available by calling Live Nation on 0870 400 0688 or the MEN Arena on 0870 190 8000.
