Lord of the Dance 30th Anniversary UK Tour features new choreography and pyrotechnics. Explore tickets for 2026 venues.
Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance returns to the United Kingdom in 2026 to mark three decades since its 1996 debut. The 30th Anniversary Tour features new choreography, updated costumes, pyrotechnics and cutting-edge lighting. Flatley remains creator, producer and choreographer but retired from performing in 2016.
Lord of the Dance is a theatrical Irish dance production conceived, produced and choreographed by Michael Flatley. Each performance involves more than 150,000 taps from the company, accompanied by pyrotechnics and theatrical lighting effects.
Flatley has not performed in the show since his retirement from the stage in 2016. This tour presents the company rather than its creator as a dancer, though he remains at the helm of the production.
The 30th Anniversary Tour incorporates fresh choreography, new costuming, and updated special effects and lighting technology. It is presented as a development of the show rather than a straightforward revival of the original production.
These are the dates listed by ATG as checked on 21 September 2026. A date range may contain selected performances, rather than a show every day. Open your chosen venue link for exact times, seats and current prices.
