Lord of the Dance - 30 Jahre Standing Ovations

It is the most spectacular and successful touring dance show in history, and in 2026 it will grandly celebrate its 30th anniversary: "Lord of the Dance"! More than 60 million people in 60 countries across all continents have been captivated by this breathtaking, exhilarating, and magical show. The 30th anniversary is not only an occasion for celebration but also a unique opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary journey of "Lord of the Dance." It all began with Michael Flatley's dream of creating the world's greatest Irish dance show. What almost everyone thought was impossible, Michael Flatley achieved with great determination, exceptional talent, tireless passion, and a lot of hard work! His spectacular performance during the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 ended with standing ovations, overshadowing the actual event. The rest is history!

Michael Flatley not only created the most successful dance productions of all time, but he also broke records worldwide and brought the art of traditional Irish dance to global fame and recognition. His show, and Michael Flatley himself, became legends. The battle between good and evil is a unique combination of high-energy dance at the highest artistic level, original Celtic music, clever and entertaining storytelling, and a subtle sensuality. This unique interplay has been enchanting audiences for 30 years now!

In the spring of 2026, the rapid and distinctive "tapping" will once again echo through the halls of Germany and Austria. For the anniversary tour, Michael Flatley has developed the original concept of "Lord of the Dance" in a new, modern way. Described by the Los Angeles Times as a "showpiece extravaganza," the show will transport the audience to a time and place full of myths and fantasy with more than 150,000 taps per performance.
