Riverdance 30th anniversary tour to visit city

By Simon Bristow, Co-Editor

Irish dance spectacular Riverdance will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a 30-date tour next year, including a visit to Hull’s Connexin Live.

The show, a fusion of Irish and international dance and music, will take place at the Myton Street venue on October 7, 2025, with tickets on sale from 10am on Friday, March 22.

The tour will feature for the first time “The New Generation” of performers – none of whom were born when the show began.

Riverdance director John McColgan said: “It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on.

“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.”
