The new John Paul Jones Arena will host the Cirque du Soleil August 1, as part of the "Delirium" tour, said Larry Wilson, general manager of the arena.
Cirque du Soleil is an international troupe of acrobats founded in Canada in the early 1980s, according to a press release.
Although the performance will be during the summer recess, this is not expected to affect ticket sales.
"The demographic for this particular show is 30s on up," Wilson said.
The "Delirium" tour marks the first time in the troupe's history that lyrics and actual words will be used in the performance, rather than an invented nonsense language, according to the release.
Wilson said tickets will go on sale on Saturday.
