A Magical Concert Experience Arrives in the UK
Disney fans across the United Kingdom and Ireland have something truly special to look forward to. Disney Princess – The Concert has officially announced its first ever UK and Ireland tour, launching in March 2027 and running through to early May. The tour will visit more than 30 cities, with a headline London residency of five performances at the Royal Festival Hall over the Easter break.
Produced by Disney Concerts, Broadway Princess Party, Cuffe & Taylor, and Live Nation, this internationally acclaimed show has already played across 20 countries on five continents since its premiere in 2021, including two enormous US tours spanning more than 100 cities. Now, British and Irish audiences will finally get the chance to experience this celebration of Disney's most iconic heroines, their music, and their stories.
What to Expect from Disney Princess – The Concert
Disney Princess – The Concert is not a traditional musical or theatrical production. Instead, it brings together acclaimed Broadway and West End performers to deliver a spectacular concert experience celebrating the music of Disney's princesses. The show features songs from more than 29 Disney films, weaving together the melodies that have become the soundtrack to generations of childhoods.
Audiences can expect to hear beloved numbers such as "How Far I'll Go" from Moana, "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid, "Just Around the Riverbend" from Pocahontas, "Almost There" from The Princess and the Frog, and "Let It Go" from Frozen, among many others.
Beyond the music, the concert features larger-than-life animation projected on stage and immersive theatrical effects that bring Disney magic to life in a live setting. The performers also share behind-the-scenes stories from their careers on stage and screen, adding a personal, intimate touch to the evening. The show has a running time of approximately one hour and 45 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
The specific cast of Disney Broadway and West End talent for the UK and Ireland tour is expected to be announced in August 2025, so fans should keep their eyes peeled for further updates.
London Residency at the Royal Festival Hall
The jewel in the tour's crown is undoubtedly its London engagement. Disney Princess – The Concert will take up residence at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank for five performances from 28 to 30 March 2027, spanning the Easter holiday period. This prestigious 2,900-seat venue is one of London's most celebrated concert halls, and its world-class acoustics should provide the perfect setting for these Disney classics.
Tickets for the Royal Festival Hall dates are expected to go on sale soon via the Southbank Centre. For theatregoers who love Disney on stage in London, this concert makes an excellent complement to the long-running The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, which continues to enchant West End audiences with its extraordinary staging of the Disney classic.

Why Disney Princess – The Concert Has Become a Global Phenomenon
Since launching in 2021, Disney Princess – The Concert has become one of the most successful touring concert properties in the family entertainment space. Its appeal lies in the universality of the Disney princess songbook. These are melodies that parents grew up with on VHS and that children now discover through streaming, creating a uniquely multi-generational audience.
The concert format also allows for something that traditional musical theatre cannot always offer: a curated greatest hits experience that spans the entire Disney princess catalogue. In a single evening, audiences can travel from the undersea world of Ariel to the frozen kingdom of Elsa, from the bayous of New Orleans with Tiana to the Pacific islands with Moana. It is this breadth that makes the show so compelling.
The involvement of genuine Broadway and West End performers elevates the production far beyond a simple sing-along event. These are artists who have inhabited Disney roles on the world's biggest stages, and their vocal abilities and personal connections to the material bring an authenticity that resonates deeply with audiences.
A Perfect Fit for Disney Fans Visiting London
The timing of the London dates over the Easter holidays makes Disney Princess – The Concert an ideal addition to a family trip to the capital. London's West End already offers several outstanding options for Disney and family entertainment enthusiasts. The Lion King remains one of the most spectacular shows in the world, while Matilda The Musical at the Cambridge Theatre continues to delight audiences with Roald Dahl's beloved story brought to life through Tim Minchin's brilliant score.
For younger theatregoers, shows like The Gruffalo and Paddington the Musical offer wonderful introductions to live performance. And for those who love immersive spectacle, ABBA Voyage at the purpose-built Wembley Park Theatre demonstrates just how innovative live entertainment has become.
Should You Book?
If you are a Disney fan, the answer is almost certainly yes. Disney Princess – The Concert has built an exceptional reputation across its international touring history, and its arrival in the UK and Ireland feels long overdue. The combination of world-class performers, beloved songs from nearly three decades of Disney animation, and stunning visual production makes this a must-see event for families and Disney enthusiasts of all ages.
With five London dates and over 30 regional stops, there should be a convenient venue for most theatregoers across the UK and Ireland. However, given the show's enormous popularity internationally, early booking is strongly advised, particularly for the London Royal Festival Hall performances, which are likely to sell quickly.
The cast announcement expected in August should generate significant excitement, so keep an eye on our latest theatre news for updates. In the meantime, you can browse all the best family shows currently on offer across London, or explore our full list of London theatre shows for your next booking.
