State of the Earth Tour
Ben Davidson is taking the science off the screen and into the room. The State of the Earth Tour is a full day of live, in-person space weather and earth changes science with the founder of Space Weather News, running through seven US cities from August 2026 to February 2027. One day per city, one hotel ballroom, limited seats, no live stream.
Tickets from $99.95. VIP with dinner and Q&A at every stop. VIP sales close 10 days before each event.
What you'll experience at a State of the Earth event
A full day of science, presented live and in plain language. Not a webinar you half-watch with the tab open. You are in the room.
The talks
Ben delivers his core sessions live: State of the Earth, Master the Disaster, and Phoenix Rising. The State of the Earth talk lays out what he is watching in the sun, the magnetic field, and the atmosphere. Master the Disaster turns it into practical preparedness. Phoenix Rising covers the bigger cycle and what history shows about it. You get the full arc in one afternoon.
The VIP dinner and Q&A
VIP admission adds dinner and a Q&A with Ben after the main session. Smaller room, real questions, direct answers. This is where you talk with him instead of watching from a distance. VIP is a separate tier and it is capped tighter than general admission.
The room and the community
These events draw the people who already follow this work and want to meet others who do. Coffee in the morning, snacks midday, a full day alongside a crowd that takes this seriously. The venues have no overflow, so the room is the room. When a city sells out, that date is done.
The science Ben covers: space weather, the sun, and earth changes
Here is what the tour is actually about. Ben Davidson presents the research he tracks every day at Space Weather News and walks a live audience through the connections he sees. These are the topics he covers on stage, presented as a body of research and discussion, not as fixed predictions.
You do not need a science background to follow it. That is the point of doing this live. For the deeper science weekend on the ranch, see our climate-science gathering.
Pick your city and get your seat
Seven stops, seven one-day events. Each city runs once. When a venue fills, there is no overflow room and no second date. Prices start at $99.95, with VIP up to $399.95 depending on the stop. Tickets for every city are on TicketSpice.

No. There is no live stream at any stop, and no recording is offered in place of attending. These are in-person only, and venues have no overflow, so seats are limited.
What is included in VIP?
VIP includes everything in general admission plus a dinner and Q&A with Ben after the main session, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. VIP is a separate, tighter-capped tier and sells out faster.
