Michael Flatley’s Lord Of The Dance SA Tour Dates Announced
Big Concerts is delighted to announce that Michael Flatley’s world-renowned Lord Of The Dance will be gracing South African stages in 2025 as part of the highly-anticipated ‘A Lifetime of Standing Ovations‘ tour. This spectacular production, which has captivated millions of fans across the globe, promises to deliver a mesmerising showcase of Irish dance, breathtaking choreography, and world-class artistry.
August 2025 brings novel musical elements and choreography to Lord of the Dance, which seamlessly combine the old and the new. Updated costumes add a glamourous, yet contemporary flare to the new look. State-of-the-art technology and special effects lighting enhance the audience experience and envelope them in the world of Lord of the Dance. The spectacle features 40 of the world’s most outstanding young performers led by veteran dancer Matt Smith as The Lord, directed by Michael Flatley, with music by composer Gerard Fahy. Following Michael Flatley’s ground-breaking performance, Riverdance, which caught the world’s attention at Eurovision 1994, Lord of the Dance has embodied Flatley’s belief that “Nothing is impossible, follow your dreams.” Since its premiere, Michael Flatley’s Lord Of The Dance has sold out over 1000 theatres, arenas and stadiums worldwide and been seen by over 60 million people in 60 different countries on every continent, making it one of the most successful dance productions in the world.
The show has played at iconic venues and landmarks such as Madison Square Garden and the Lyric Theatre, New York, London’s O2 and Wembley Arenas, Accor Arena, Paris, Hyde Park Route of Kings and The Temples of Baalbek, Lebanon. Lord of the Dance has received countless accolades, and broken box office records across the globe. In 1998 Lord of the Dance performed a record-breaking 21 consecutive sell-out shows at London’s Wembley Arena – a feat for which it still holds the record and which earned Michael Flatley a place on Wembley’s illustrious Square of Fame. Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance has not only brought Irish dancing to the world stage, it has catapulted the art of Irish dance to a higher plane and captured the hearts and minds of millions worldwide. The spectacular show has dazzled audiences around the world with its unique combination of high-energy Irish dancing, original music, storytelling and sensuality.
The beloved Irish dance show transcends culture and language. Lord of the Dance speaks to all, crossing boundaries of age, gender and cultural diversity. Its timeless, universal appeal has made Lord of the Dance one of the most enduring productions of all time. 2024 sees the show tour the world once more with over 250 dates across Europe with more dates and territories to be added.
Lord of the Dance: The Story
The Lord of the Dance story emerges from the dreams of the Little Spirit. It is a classic tale of good versus evil. In her dream, the Lord of the Dance represents all things good in the world but he must fight against evil in the form of The Dark Lord and his army of Warlords. Morrighan the Temptress comes between The Lord and his true love Saoirse, while Erin the Goddess puts into song the words that the dances express. Will the Lord of the Dance and his men defeat the Dark Lord? Will the Spirit’s Dream become a nightmare from which she cannot wake? Let the dance embrace you and take you on a journey filled with energy and passion…
