The music group Helium Queens is set to perform Nov. 20 at the UTA Planetarium. The event will feature drinks and food.
UTA’s Planetarium will host a Helium Queens concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, with a preshow reception beginning at 6 p.m. in the planetarium.
The Helium Queens are a Fort Worth–based synth-pop band known for performing as futuristic personas inspired by outer space and the moon. Planetarium coordinator McKenna Dowd said the group not only plays music but also builds a narrative into their shows, creating a performance that blends story and sound.
Dowd said this will be the band’s third performance at the planetarium and that they are excited to welcome them back under the cool visuals of space.
Dowd said the planetarium’s concert series aims to bring art and science together. All visuals are crafted from real astronomical data and are uniquely designed for each performance.
“We have a lot of fun with it, for sure,” she said.
Tickets include admission to the show as well as appetizers during the reception. Student and child tickets are $25, faculty and staff tickets are $30 and general admission tickets are $35.
