Diversity is set to hit the road on a major new tour of the UK and Ireland in spring 2026.
The UK’s most successful dance group are bringing their new concept tour SOUL to 31 towns and cities in the UK & Ireland in 2026.
The 60 date tour will run through February and May 2026, including a five-show residency at the Cliffs Pavilion in Diversity’s hometown Southend, and three dates at the London Palladium from 9 to 11 April 2026.
The Diversity tour will also visit Birmingham, Milton Keynes, Ipswich, Cardiff, Bath, Stoke-on-Trent, Gateshead, Stockton, Hull, Sheffield, Liverpool, Nottingham, Oxford, Portsmouth, Eastbourne, Guildford, Swansea, Brighton, Bournemouth, Bristol, Manchester, Blackpool, York, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Killarney, Dublin, and Belfast.
The 2026 tour is based around the technological advancements of artificial intelligence, what the future holds, and what it truly means to be human within the digital age.
Diversity rose to stardom after winning the third series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Since then, the dance group has gone on to sell out multiple tours across the UK and Ireland.
The members of Diversity also have successful careers outside of the dance group, including Ashley Banjo, who in 2023 was awarded an MBE for his commitment and service to dance. Ashley has appeared in West End musicals including The Wizard of Oz.
Ashley Banjo said: “We are so excited to announce the Soul tour for 2026! It’s a privilege to be able to share our passion for dance and performance with audiences across the UK and Ireland. Since the beginning, Diversity has been about celebrating individuality and the power of storytelling, and the Soul tour will be no different. We can’t wait to create some unforgettable moments and connect with everyone. Get ready for something special!”
