LORD OF THE DANCE 2026
LORD OF THE DANCE will celebrate 30 years in Slovakia in 2026!
Michael Flatley is planning a spectacular Lord of the Dance tour in 2026, charting 30 years of this famous Irish dance group on the world stage. The beloved dance show will return to Slovakia and will delight its fans on 20 November in Bratislava and 22 November in Košice!
Since its premiere in Dublin in 1996, Lord of the Dance has performed in more than a thousand arenas and theatres in sixty different countries on five continents around the world. They have been seen by over 70 million people, making them one of the most successful dance performances of all time and the epitome of Flatley's lifelong credo, 'Nothing is impossible, follow your dream.'
Michael Flatley's phenomenal show not only introduced Irish dance to the world, it literally catapulted the art form to stellar heights to unprecedented global recognition and, most importantly, deep into the hearts and minds of audiences. Flatley's Lord of the Dance dazzles audiences with its unique combination of high-energy Irish dance, original music, fabulous storytelling and sensuality. The secret of their enormous success is that they appeal to audiences around the world, regardless of age, gender, language or cultural background. This timelessness and universal appeal makes Lord of the Dance one of the wonders of the modern world, a myth, a living legend. The Los Angeles Times described the performance as 'a showpiece and a spectacular sight' that transports audiences to mythical places and captures their hearts by combining graceful movement with precisely synchronized dance and artistic set design.
Reimagined dance numbers, impeccable visual technology and sound, spectacular lighting, beautiful costumes, new music by composer Gerard Fahy and 40 of the most talented young artists from around the world under the direct direction of dance genius Michael Flatley - this is Lord of the Dance 2026.
'I can't wait for Lord of the Dance to return to European stages in 2026. I have a feeling it's the most important tour in our 30-year history! The art is irreplaceable. I hope we can lift people's spirits and put a smile back on their faces.'
Once you've experienced Lord of the Dance, you'll never settle for anything less in Irish dance. Twice in 2026 in Slovakia. On November 22, at the TIPOS Arena in Bratislava and on November 22 at the STEEL Arena in Košice.
