Wes Peden: Rollercoaster at Lowry, Salford 24 February 2025 Tickets from £18.00 — Book now

Produced by Wes Peden and Gandini Juggling, Rollercoaster is an ultra-modern pop-punk juggling show.

Described as a “master of juggling” by The Guardian, Wes Peden appears on stage surrounded by a huge inflatable blue structure. Accompanied by electro beats composed of distorted rollercoaster sounds, Peden shares his cutting-edge tricks inspired by corkscrews, adrenalin, and high-tech seatbelts. Expect contemporary spinning plate routines, epic 3-ball juggling and some of the most difficult juggling ever done on stage.

If you like the sound of this show, do take a look at our round-up of Contemporary Dance at Lowry.
