To celebrate this incredible 30th year milestone, Riverdance will embark on a special anniversary tour in 2025, bringing its magic to audiences around the world, including a visit to Mayflower Theatre from Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 September 2025.
Since Riverdance first emerged onto the world stage, its fusion of Irish and international dance and music has captured the hearts of millions worldwide.
The Grammy award-winning music and the infectious energy of its mesmerising choreography and breath-taking performances has left audiences in awe and established Riverdance as a global cultural sensation.
This spectacular production rejuvenates the much-loved original show with new innovative choreography and costumes and state of the art lighting, projection and motion graphics. And for the first time Riverdance welcomes ‘The New Generation’ of performers, all of whom were not born when the show began 30 years ago.
“It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on,” says John McColgan, Director of Riverdance. “In those 30 years the show has transformed from a spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon – continuously evolving yet remaining true to its Irish roots.
“On this upcoming tour we look forward to welcoming ‘The New Generation’ of artists while paying tribute to the talented performers, creators, dedicated crew, and the millions of fans who have made Riverdance a worldwide celebration of music and dance.”
Audiences will enjoy a unique and memorable performance which blends the traditional and the contemporary, showcasing the skill and passion of the world-class of dancers, musicians and singers in the Riverdance ensemble, composed by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty, and directed by John McColgan.
Tickets for Riverdance 30: The New Generation (Thursday 25 – Sunday 28 September 2025) are on sale at mayflower.org.uk or 02380 711811.
