It’s 30 years since a troupe of Irish dancers took to the stage during the interval of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest at Dublin’s Point Theatre, in what was a watershed moment in the cultural history of Ireland.

Eversince, Riverdance’s fusion of Irish and international dance and music has captured the hearts of millions worldwide.

To celebrate it’s 30 year milestone, Riverdance will embark on a special anniversary world tour, which will include dates at Belfast’s SSE Arena from December17 – 20 2025, with an additional matinee on Saturday December 20.

This spectacular production rejuvenates the much-loved original show with new innovative choreography and costumes and state of the art lighting, projection, motion graphics and a cast of dancers who were not even born when the show began.



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