Lord of the Dance, the global phenomenon that redefined Irish dance, is set to return to the United Kingdom in 2026 to celebrate its 30th Anniversary with an extraordinary new tour. This milestone event promises to be a grand celebration of the production’s legacy, captivating over 60 million fans in 60 countries since its debut in 1996.
Since its inception, Lord of the Dance has transformed Irish dance into a global cultural phenomenon, setting new standards for creativity and theatrical productions. Michael Flatley’s visionary show has been celebrated as a "showpiece extravaganza" and continues to awe audiences worldwide with its captivating blend of dance, music, and storytelling.
The 30th Anniversary Tour will feature brand-new choreography, stunning costumes, state-of-the-art special effects, and cutting-edge lighting, ensuring that the production continues to push boundaries and deliver an unforgettable experience.
Hailed for its dazzling combination of precision dance, powerful music, pyrotechnics, and emotional storytelling, Lord of the Dance remains a true marvel of the theatrical world. The show features over 150,000 taps per performance, with the dancers’ energy and passion promising an electrifying experience.
Since its inception three decades ago, Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance has achieved global success. As the creator, producer, and choreographer of the iconic show, Flatley is preparing a spectacular celebration to mark its 30th Anniversary. Though he retired from performing during his final tour in 2016, which culminated in a memorable performance at Caesar's Colosseum in Las Vegas, he has remained at the helm of the production.
Michael Flatley is set to elevate Lord of the Dance to new heights with this anniversary tour. He reflected, "The magic of Lord of the Dance lives on in the hearts of our audience, and I am thrilled to bring this iconic show back to the UK in 2026. This 30th Anniversary Tour is a celebration of the incredible journey we've shared with fans over the years. It’s a testament to the enduring power of dreams and the spirit of dance. With fresh choreography, innovative staging, and an electrifying cast, we’re taking this show to the next level once again.
This tour is not just a tribute to our past but a bold leap into the future—a love letter to our fans and a reminder of the magic that dance can bring to the world.”
