As the world comes together to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, there is no better time to honour one of Ireland’s greatest cultural exports—Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance. In an exciting announcement, the global phenomenon that redefined Irish dance is set to return to both York and Sheffield in 2026 with shows at the York Barbican and the Sheffield City Hall as part of a spectacular 30th Anniversary Tour. This milestone event promises to be a grand celebration of the production’s enduring legacy, which has captivated over 60 million fans in 60 countries since its debut in 1996.
