Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance

Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance comes to Hull New Theatre on Thursday 22 July 2027, as part of a new tour across the UK. It's the show that most people recognise as the big name in Irish dance, and this run marks its 30th anniversary.

To get a sense of the scale, Lord of the Dance debuted in 1996 and has since played to more than 60 million people across 60 countries. It's a global phenomenon that redefined Irish dance for a huge audience, and this tour brings it back to the UK to celebrate three decades since it first launched. The show is built around the Irish dance tradition, and this particular run is billed as the very best of it.

If you've never seen it, it's a production that puts Irish dance centre stage, and this tour is the 30th anniversary edition. The show is returning to the UK with a new tour, and the Hull date falls on a Thursday in July, so it's a mid-week evening out in the city. The production is presented by Michael Flatley, and it's the same show that's been touring the world since the mid-nineties.

It's a good one to keep on your radar for next summer, especially if you're into dance or have a soft spot for the Irish tradition. The date is Thursday 22 July 2027 at Hull New Theatre, part of the show's 30th anniversary tour.
