Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance to celebrate 30th anniversary with UK Tour in 2026

The epic, award-winning dance show Lord of the Dance is set to tour the UK in 2026, celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Created by Riverdance dancer Michael Flatley, the Irish dance phenomenon has played to over 60 million fans in 60 countries since it first debuted in 1996.

The tour starts at Leicester’s De Montfort Hall on 18 June 2026, and then travels to Milton Keynes, Manchester, York, Oxford, Stoke, Edinburgh, Hull, Aberdeen, Torquay, Southend, Cardiff, Sheffield, Glasgow, Bournemouth, Brighton, Liverpool, Sunderland, Aylesbury, Truro, Birmingham, and London Wimbledon.

The 30th anniversary tour promises to be “a grand celebration of the production’s enduring legacy”, featuring brand-new choreography, costumes, state-of-the-art special effects, and lighting.

Michael Flatley, who performed his final show in 2016 but remains as the show’s producer and choreographer, said he was “thrilled” to bring the iconic show back in 2026.

Michael Flatley said in a statement: “The magic of Lord of the Dance lives on in the hearts of our audience. 30 Years of Standing Ovations celebrates the incredible journey we’ve shared with fans over the years. It’s a tribute to the enduring power of dreams, the joy of dance, and the unwavering support of our audience. This tour is our way of saying thank you for three decades of unforgettable memories.”
