The Boonshoft Museum is one of only two planetariums in Ohio offering the immersive experience.
Fans will get to hear the 31-year-old’s album, “Lost Weekend,” ahead of its release on Aug. 14. It’ll be paired with a custom laser presentation projected across the planetarium dome.
The album is Bridgers’ first solo album in six years.
Jordan Utterback, Boonshoft’s Director of Visitor Experience, said being selected to put this on is “incredibly exciting.”
“Planetariums are built to surround audiences with sound, light and motion. Pairing that environment with an entirely new Phoebe Bridgers album offers fans a way to experience the music that they cannot recreate at home. What better way to experience an artist you love than through a special laser show, surrounded by other fans, before the album is released to the public?” Utterback said in a statement.
While ticket holders may use their phones while exploring the museum before the show, the event itself is phone-free. Cell phones will be secured in Yondr pouches throughout the show.
Other electronic devices, such as smartwatches, smart glasses, or wearable technology that glows, should not be brought into the planetarium.
Admission to the museum’s exhibits is included with the event ticket. Those with tickets can arrive at 4 p.m. to explore the museum before the show at 6 p.m.
